In Reply to: The litterbox. Your cat scratching and walking in a concentrated area of pee/poop. And then posted by 90% of cats get on tables and countertops, or your babys bed. Nuff said. on October 12, 2008 at 09:04:04:

I've never known one that did that. It is all in the training they receive as kittens.

Every person I know that has a cat they get on the counters. Guess I'm not a good trainer and associate with pigs. 12:32:55 10/12/2008 (1)
- I said nothing about being pigs. However, if you (collective you) don't train your pets properly then don't b*tch about what they do. 14:31:08 10/12/2008 (0)
They don't all jump on counters. I've had cats that didn't. nm 11:23:57 10/12/2008 (6)
- See below post Re: pillows and blankies. . 11:27:27 10/12/2008 (5)
  - No, they didn't lay on my pillows - kept them covered. They laid on their own blankets at the foot of the bed, which I kept clean. Geez. nm 11:40:57 10/12/2008 (4)
    - Congratulations. You are one fine cat owner. Others should aspire to the same. 11:43:33 10/12/2008 (3)
      - Yeah, they should. Keep your pillows covered - how hard is that?? Duh. nm 11:56:36 10/12/2008 (1)
        
        agree, or better and easier yet, keep the door closed so they can't get in there or train them to stay off the bed. not rocket science. nm 14:38:41 10/12/2008 (0)
      - Wasnt there a post earlier about how all posts were now going to say "but not my cat/house/table etc?" 11:46:07 10/12/2008 (0)
True. Probably more like 98%. Was giving the benefit of the doubt. What do you think cats do when nobody home? 10:46:31 10/12/2008 (15)
- If you're not home how would you know? What you don't know won't hurt ya! 12:01:20 10/12/2008 (0)
- a properly trained cat will not get on counters and tables regardless nm If that is a problem they you haven't trained your cat properly. nm 11:18:21 10/12/2008 (13)
  - Even if not on tables, they lay on your pillow, often straight from the litterbox, They lay on fave blanket that you cuddle up to your face. Ewww 11:26:05 10/12/2008 (5)
    - pets not allowed on the bed solves that one. they sit in my lap on the couch, but not allowed on the bed nm 11:52:52 10/12/2008 (0)
    - That's because you let them. You have to arrange thing so they can't use them. They should have their OWN pillows and blankets. nm 11:41:53 10/12/2008 (3)
      - You mean your cat never snuggles with you on your blanket? Why have a pet then? nm 11:47:34 10/12/2008 (2)
        
        Learn how to read. Cat had own blanket at bottom of bed, snuggled there. Kept my feet warm (while laying on its own blanket) SM 11:58:45 10/12/2008 (1)
        
        I agree with you, sounds like to me someone sm sm 12:04:05 10/12/2008 (0)
  - I agree it helps. But, IMO, cats independant enough to do what they want when you are gone. Some cats surely dont get on tables, but most do, IMO, from what I've seen. 11:21:25 10/12/2008 (6)
    - Mine didn't. nm 11:42:26 10/12/2008 (0)
    - I've never seen one do that once trained properly. nm 11:25:35 10/12/2008 (4)
      - That's because they waited til you were gone. Evil Twin 11:28:42 10/12/2008 (3)
        
        LOL, no. Kitty shed something fierce. Would have had cat hair all over the counters and tables if he did. Long hair stuck to everything and fell everywhere. sm 12:00:03 10/12/2008 (0)
        
        Your evil twin thing is getting old. And, NO, not all cats jump on counters. grow up 11:59:44 10/12/2008 (1)
        
        Evil Twin is a moniker. Everyone usually complains that some do not have moniker. Geesh, do you want monikers or not???? 13:00:35 10/12/2008 (0)
