We're teaching Gin that he's not allowed on the table. He's testing the boundaries.

    Years ago, when home web cams were new, there was a documentary that showed what pets get up to when the owners aren’t home. The #1 first thing is to get up on all the places that they’re not allowed.

    They don’t learn that they’re not allowed certain places; they learn that they’re not allowed when you’re around.

      That’s why you upgrade your webcam with a nerf gun.

        That’s why you clean your surfaces before preparing food!

      I finished my lunch one day, cleared off the table, went back downstairs to my office - oops, I forgot something - go back upstairs immediately to find my dog already completely standing on the table, looking for crumbs.

      Of course. But at least we can teach him not to be on the table when we’re eating.

        Yah, it was just a comment, not a criticism. We do the same with ours, in the futile hope that they’ll at least abstain from jumping on the dining room table when we have guests. In true cat fashion, we have one who only jumps in the dining table when we have guests.

    I’m here to say the cat WILL learn it is not supposed to be on the table.

    This does not mean the cat will not get on the table.

      He has a roommate called Whisky. But Whisky is still highly sceptical of Gin.

      Firmly saying “NO”, then loud clapping, and finally lifting him to the ground and bit paying attention to gim for a few moments.

      After a while they react to the signs. No garantees that it works on every cat, but it works with our other cat.
