I am going to make a blog post out of it, as the process is a bit too long for just a comment.<br /><br />But it cured Ginger of that little problem!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423880021791681592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-40176529100709316092010-12-11T12:04:09.269-08:002010-12-11T12:04:09.269-08:00Oh I missed this!

Or never forget that you have meat thawing on the counter, or a stick of un-covered butter and wash the counter tops often.Aunt Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358159879516857766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-69295819259149566132010-12-10T21:43:15.923-08:002010-12-10T21:43:15.923-08:00What to do about Ginger and the counter-tops?

It won't take Ginger long to figure out that she can hop up there ... then just when you go to grab the bottle, jump off. In the end, however, she is a cat. Cats are not dogs. Cats respond to perceived abuse with abuse in kind and they tend never, ever to quit dishing out what they feel they're getting. Be patient, keep scolding and gently nudging off the counter. Eventually, she will figure it out.Anti Randhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864443592787271697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539457256761038560.post-28845603911174128352010-12-10T20:35:58.953-08:002010-12-10T20:35:58.953-08:00I'd guess coyotes over foxes.

I have had cats non-stop for years and the only time they stay off the counters is when I am home - must be a survival thing.umbrellaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640257199319618306noreply@blogger.com
