Answer 2

If your cats view your table/counter ‘uninteresting’ they will be less likely to want to be on them. Leave as little on the counter or table as possible; never leave food out unattended. It’s best to make them realize there is nothing up there they want to see.

However, there are those cats who are willful and must be trained to not jump on the counters. For those cats, you can use one of those motion activated holiday decorations that make a noise and move around. We had a Jack O Lantern that would jump around and moan and groan with flashing eyes. That would startle Kitty into not wanting to go up there. Your goal is to associate jumping on the counter with something unpleasant.

If you react when the cat jumps on the counter, they will learn to do that to get your attention. Never yell at or spank him; that will only cause other more serious behavior problems. When training a cat, you must remember that they are very curious. By short stepping that curiosity, you can easily train your pet to stay off the counters.

Another method is to put a few pennies in empty soda cans  (with the hole taped up) on the edge of the counters, or wherever you’ve noticed the cat likes to jump up on. Slightly squeezing the cans on both sides to make them wobbly, will also make them fall off the counters more easily. When you cat jumps up, the loud noise will scare her and she will be less likely to want to jump up there.

Answer 3

get her a nice high cat bed and whenever she jumps up tell her no and put her on the bed also rub catnip on the bed

Answer 4

theres a spray you buy at the pet store ,called pet off or keep off and you spray it whereever you don.t want your pet

Answer 5

put some hot sauce somthing sticky or pointy on the counter  

Answer 6

Get a small low pressured spray bottle and fill it with water. Every time your cat jumps onto the counters, spray her once or twice, just not in the face. My cat used to do this as well, and this trick is very handy, and its not cruel or inhumane at all.
