Yes, that’s important in the training too-never leaving anything out so they won’t be “rewarded” for jumping on the counter!My cats have been a work in progress on this for 13 years. They don't bother the countertops when I'm in the house. But if I go out the door, stand there for 10 seconds or so, and then walk back in I hear the sound of 12 guilty paws hitting the kitchen floor and running into the next room. It wouldn't bother me so much but two of my cats will eat anything they can find, and once my female gorged on a 1/2 pound block of butter. Another time, my male chewed the twisty tie off the bread and had to have an emergency plastic removal at the vets. I would prefer they stay off the countertops, but anytime they're up there and they find even a drop of something tasty I guess it's one less point for me and score one for them!
