Jbug! My cats do all kinds of no-no's! I have three cats and they get on the table, the kitchen counters, even the stove! I just pick them up and drop them off, when necessary. Much of the time they're up there, though, it is to get away from my doggy, who loves to torment them. They also scratch my upholstered furniture, and I use my "AAAHHH, AAAHH!!!" voice, and usually this stops them. Mine are inside/outside cats, and they bring in furry and feathered trophy kills to my garage daily, since I leave the garage door up a few inches so they can come in.
I hate that they kill things like this, but it is their nature, and leaving them inside all the time doesn't work. They become too destructive!
Cats will be cats!
