Cats don't like Oranges and citrus fruits, they could stop them going on counters.

Bladesmanshawey I use a squirt gun, a small water pistol that I bought for less than a dollar. I actually have three of them and keep them in places where I want to keep my cats off. Whenever they jump up on a counter or table that is off limits, I squirt them gently. They don't associate it with me because they don't understand where it is coming from and it is only a harmless minor distraction to them. OBTW, I try and not look at them as I'm doing it. That way they have less chance of associating the squirting water with me doing the squirting.

How do you keep your cat off the pool table?

cats understand when given repetetive scolding. Give her a light slap on the butt and yell "no" and they tend to understand. the first few goes will get the little bugger off for good. Cats are curious though, but dont give him/her food or catnip etc. to keep him/her off. they might find it as a reward for getting up there and playing around.
