Those Darn Cats!

I came home Tuesday night to find a serving platter from our set of fancy wedding china shattered on the kitchen floor. The first casualty from that set. Oh, did I rail at the kitties about that! They know better than to get on the counters.

Mike's broken a couple of bowls of our everyday china. I just keep buying more sets at Target.

My mom says she'll replace the platter as an anniversary present. I'll just have to keep the replacement away from naughty, counter-jumping kitties. Wonder if those motion detectors/counter top deterrents work?

You need to get one of those shocking ass-shocker thingies that Janet zaps unsuspecting houseguests with, and put it on your countertops. :-)

They do work. I trained Pogo and Frieda to stay out of the master bedroom and living room with them. Now that Frieda's gone, I'm not as concerned about Pogo being in the living room. As for the master bedroom, he only comes in on very rare occasions to sniff around and he never, ever, ever jumps on the bed.

Look for sonic cat deterrents. They work best. They emit a sonic pulse that only the cats can hear. It totally freaks 'em out, but they'll stay away from wherever you set them.
