Your cat has a way of getting into everything within your household, and your kitchen table has quite the allure. She smells all the wonderful foods you place upon it, and sees that your entire family seems engaged when sitting around the table. She doesn’t want to be left out, so she likes to hop up onto the table and see what all the fuss is about.

To keep her off this area, remove her immediately whenever she jumps up. Provide her with an alternative activity to take part in after placing her back onto the floor so she will have something to occupy her time. You can also try giving her a place to view the activities on the table from, like a cat tree. This way she can dispel any curiosity she has by viewing the top of your table any time she feels like it. For additional information, please contact your local Richboro, PA veterinarian.
