He discovered he can get up on the table the other day. Now I can't keep him off [emoji]128545[/emoji] Any suggestions? I don't want him up there. Ew.

I ordered several Sssscats from Amazon.  They are motion detector aerosol spray containers that emit a harmless hissing noise of compressed air.  I would order one or two and place them away from human traffic (like facing a wall) but in a location where the cat will cross in front of it.  One or two blasts will dissuade them from going up there.

Rub lemon all over the table for a day :) Cats hate citrus - she will smell/lick the table or get some of that on her paw and trust me she will never come back :) 

My cat used to bite on cables and all it took was some lemon rubbed on a couple of thems - hasn't approached single one since.

Good luck! Let me know if it works.

Also on the plus side lemon is incredible surface cleaner :p

I'm having the same problem. Simon loves the kitchen counter and dining table. I'm going to try the scattttt aerosols cans first. I'm a little worried about using lemon. Isn't it toxic for cats if they ingest some?

Hey - I wouldnt know but I know they definitely HATE citrus - my cat smelled it on cables and never came close again. I did this as one time thing. Now, she doesn't show interest in any cable (non lemoned of course :D)

I guess my recommendation should come with some reservation. Thanks for pointing this out.
