Cats are spontaneous creatures, tables are their favorite resting place. In addition, there is always something interesting on the table to play with, or delicious food. Even if they know that it is bad to climb on the table, they still do not hold back their curiosity in the absence of the owners. To disaccustom a cat to climb the table, you need to create a steady reflex in his head, and not just make it clear that you do not like it. Otherwise, the cat will continue to jump on the table, but only when you are not around.
Instructions
Step 1
More than anything, cats do not like pungent odors. A great way is to leave orange peels on the table, sprinkle with perfume, you can put a cup in which there are napkins with applied drops of aromatic oils. The main thing is that the pet, having jumped on the table, does not feel comfortable there.
Step 2
Cats love rustling objects, but do not like it when rustling gives them away at a time when they try to be as quiet as possible. If you put foil on the table, the cat will not be able to climb on the table unnoticed while you are at home. The cat itself will have unpleasant impressions about this.
Step 3
The spray bottle is now your constant ally. Water is one of the most disliked by cats. Always keep a spray bottle near the table in the kitchen. When you came home, did you find the cat at the crime scene? Spray it with water immediately! The cat will remember what a sudden discovery is fraught with.
Step 4
Not everyone knows about this, but cats do not like to be yelled at or scolded at. They may not understand the words, but the intonation, and even more the cry, they understand perfectly - people are very unhappy with them. Therefore, if you notice a cat on the table, immediately yell at him. The cat will remember this shock for life. If you repeat it several times, the effect is guaranteed. After removing the cat from the table, look into his eyes and scold him severely. You will immediately see that the cat is ashamed. Do not hit the animal, but scold it. In general, animals understand the intonation of human speech much better than slaps on the ears.
Step 5
Cats are very agile creatures, and if something falls somewhere on them or because of them, they avoid this place. Place notebooks or thin books on the edge of the table so that the cat, jumping, drops them. Maybe the cat will even fall off along with the notebooks, which will then fall on him. The main thing is to use light objects so that the animal does not get hurt.
