My cat is repeatedly jumping up on the work-tops in the kitchen and it's driving me mad! He's only started doing it in the last month and he doesn't seem to learn. I have been shouting no and giving him a tap on the nose every time that he does it, but it still doesn't dissuade him.
Today I have taken to spraying him with water every time he does it and he really really doesn't like it. I am hoping that he might learn that this is what happens if he gets up on the side. But I also worry that it might be a bit cruel too?
What do other people do to dissuade bad behaviour?
