Kate, double-sided tape usually helps best with the counter issue.

I have a cat that loves to drink hot bath water. While I’m bathing. I call it people soup. And no he’s not allowed to drink after I soap up.

That’s hilarious, but Mandy could not be more wrong. I think you should have more places in your house your cats can’t go, more things to scare them, and more cameras to record it. I wonder how many times that guy has scared himself by accident.

What about a cat that just likes jumping on the counters? My cat doesn’t get up for water or for any plants, just to get up and wander around. The spray bottle has worked pretty well, but I know he does it when I’m not around! What’s wrong with training him not to do that?

I agree with Jacquilynne. It’s instinct. Also, if you have places your cat’s not allowed to go, it’s probably best not to have a cat.

For what it’s worth, cats prefer to drink from running water sources and away from their food source. So if you’ve got a dish of still water next to their food, they’re not going to drink it unless they can’t find anything else. You could solve your problem by setting up one of those ‘cat fountain’ type products in another room.

We did a similar thing to teach the cat not to scratch at the bedroom door in the wee hours of the morning. We left the vacuum plugged in and in the on position right outside the door. The cord was attached to a surge protector right by the bed. The minute kittykins scratched, my husband flicked the surge protector button and the vacuum would roar to life right by her head. It only took two brief blasts on successive nights, and she’s never done it again.
