How do I stop my cat from getting on kitchen counters and food?

Question

Hi. One of my 2 cats will not stay off the kitchen counter. Whenever I walk in kitchen he is always by my side. I can’t even eat or cook anymore because he is all over the food. Please Help! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 10 lbs

Cats can be so frustrating sometimes when they misbehave! I would consider making your counter less appealing for a while. You can line it with tin foil or double sticky tape both of which cats do not enjoy or you can keep some compressed air cans close by and “startle” them when they are on the counter. Remember that consistency is important to change behavior. Best of luck and Thank you for using Pet Coach.
