Your cat loves spending time in your home, and she really enjoys being able to check out each and every corner of her territory. This includes your kitchen counters. However, you’d rather she didn’t spend time on these. How can you prevent her from hopping up onto them?

Your pet needs to know you don’t want her on the countertops. State ‘no’ firmly when she hops up, and then pick her up and bring her to an approved place where she can spend her time. You can also prevent this by offering her an equally suitable place to enjoy. She likely wants to hop onto your counters because it gives her a great view of the rest of the room, so taking the time to find another high surface that she can frequent, like a climbing tree, can be helpful.
