Cats, of course, love to jump onto tables but that can be very annoying if it’s your dining room table and you’re throwing a party. As usual with cats, you have to be creative. One way to train them is to put large pieces of poster board on top of the table. Then roll pieces of masking tape into loops so that the sticky side is out (or use double-sided tape, and stick them all over the poster boards. When the cat jumps on the table his feet land (and he has to walk) on all these sticky things, he won’t like it so much. When it’s time to eat, you just move the poster boards. After awhile the cat becomes wary of the unseen table top and gives up jumping on it.
Sounds bizarre, but it works. And your cat can’t blame you for it – it’s the table that’s being sticky – not you. |
I’ve done this with the tape and it works great! Of course, the tape will stick to the guilty cat (if you have more than one).
Ah, so you can nab the culprit!
This does not work for my cat! He does not care.
