Deter Cats from Furniture and Countertops



I found this on re-nest

...just like humans would hate the idea of biting into a ball of tin foil,
cats apparently feel the same way about walking on it. So, how do
you make this work? It's simple:
  1. Place a piece of foil on the area in question and leave it for 2 or 3 days.
  2. Remove the foil and carefully fold it, but don't discard it just yet! You might need it again.
  3. See if your kitty goes back to that spot. This might take a few days or even a week. 
  4. If the behavior has stopped, you're done! Recycle the piece of foil and celebrate.
  5. If your cat realizes his favorite sleeping spot if available again, replace the foil and leave it there for a week. Hopefully he will find a new place in the meantime and forget about his old favorite. If he doesn't, you might have to periodically place the foil for a few days or while you're out for the afternoon.
