Cats are mysterious creatures; even their owners cannot always understand their behavior and actions. If the animal has chosen the kitchen table for sleeping, you need to find out the reason for this behavior and immediately re-educate the pet.
There is a sign: if a cat sleeps on the kitchen table, it means that she is surviving a man from the house. Another reason for this behavior of the animal is that it has found a place with negative energy and is trying to protect the owners from harmful influences. Each owner chooses for himself whether to believe these signs or not, but there are also objective reasons for the cat's sleep on the kitchen table.
Why does a cat sleep on the kitchen table?
Cats are clean animals, they choose tidy places to sleep. Where could it be cleaner than the kitchen counter? The pet sleeps where it can observe others, feel safe and be in full view.
Another reason is that the cat does not have a place in the house where she could rest and feel protected. Particular attention should be paid to the safety of the animal if there are small children in the house. It can climb onto the kitchen table if it is constantly tortured or "squeezed".
If a cat has health problems, it constantly draws attention to itself. One way is to change the place of sleep and toilet.

If the animal begins to sleep on the kitchen table, then first it needs to be shown to a specialist, perhaps the cat is sick, treatment is necessary. If all is well with health, you need to take measures to reeducate the pet. Inspect its resting place: if it stands in a prominent and noisy place, it needs to be rearranged. Change the inconvenient stove bench, put a scratching post and bowls of food next to it.
But if the cat is all right with the bed, and she still sleeps on the table, then you need to make the dining place unsafe for the animal. Experienced cat owners who have encountered this problem are advised to close the kitchen door so that the pet cannot get to the table. If you can't fence the animal from the kitchen, you can wet the table, no one will sleep in the water, smear the tablecloth with an unpleasant smell for the animal, put something so that there is no free space.
