Brilliant kitty training for keeping them off the counter! Wish had thought of that.
One of my kitties was trained early not to get on the counter, so he gets on the kitchen table instead. I don't blame him, because it is the gathering point of the house though we hardly ever eat there, and it's the only place to get away from the crazy dogs on the floor. This is the kitty who was an indoor cat at first, and then we moved here and installed the doggie door, and he started going out. Used to stay outside ALL the time, but now he stays IN all the time, and only goes out to do his business (I keep the litter box clean, but he likes it outside better).
I have an acre lot, all fenced, so I don't worry about other dogs. Of course, the cats can leave the yard, and one of them does, but that one seems very savvy about cars and such. He should be, since he stumbled into the yard half-starved, as an adult already.
