How to avoid PAWSTA for dinner

-keeping cats off kitchen countertops

Cat lovers who also have culinary skills in the kitchen may struggle with their favorite feline lounging around the stove or napping on the counters. The warmth an oven and appliances generate is very attractive to a cat. It can be comfortable, but beware; it can also be dangerous for a cat. Not only are there hot items to pounce on accidentally, there could be toxic cleaning residue on the counters or left out that can be harmful to your cat. There are also reasons you might not want your cat on the cabinets including cat hair in your food and the threat of a cat walking into your masterpiece meal during preparation.

Below are a few suggestions for keeping your kitty away from food preparation and off countertops.

Water Bottle

Using ONE QUICK spray of water can teach your cat not to jump on the counter. Please note, this is not a favorite with many feline owners because it re enforces an overall dislike for water which can make giving a bath absolute torture

Loud Sound

This could be a horn or loud boom. The biggest problem with this solution is that the cat can jump up when you are not around to make the loud noise.

Aluminum Foil

Lining your counter tops with aluminum foil can be an almost absolute deterrent for cats jumping on counters. They dislike the sound walking on aluminum foil makes, and they do not like the feeling of the foil on their paws. This will keep their paws on the floor and out of your pasta dish!

Cat Enclosure

A favorite among cat owners is an enclosure that can offer your kitty a comfortable area to watch you cook while staying off the counter tops and out from underneath your feet! Check out the Kritter Kondo, an enclosure that can be used indoors and outdoors. It’s collapsibility and carrying case make it easy to store and very mobile. The Kritter Kondo measures approximately 2.5’W x 2.0H x 5.5L giving your cat enough space to lounge around comfortably while watching you in the kitchen! Added bonus, the Kritter Kondo is also an outdoor enclosure so kitty can enjoy fresh air and sunshine safely. More information can be found at www.kritterkommunity.com

Kondo Deluxes Connect together!

MO:

Kritter Kommunity has been embraced by cat and dog lovers around the world. What were your initial thoughts when you began receiving requests and inquiry from neighbors and friends? At what point did you realize that you had a potential business on your hands?

Lisa:

Hi Mike, and thank you for the opportunity to share my story with you today.

I realized I had a pet product many cat owners would like pretty early on. My courtyard acts as a showcase for people walking around my neighborhood; so putting the cats in their Kondos outside was much like displaying adorable kittens in a pet store window. People stop, stare, ask questions, ooh and ahhh. After answering for the 5th or 6th time, “where did you get those, my cats would love one”?, I started to make a few calls. After realizing there is a market for these Kitty Kondos, small dog owners started asking me where they could get one….. hence the name Kritter Kondo instead of Kitty Kondo.

Andrea’s furbabies include Ariel, Aurora and Bond

Andrea is one of our Twitter Friends enjoys tweeting about current events, pets and just for fun! Andrea loves to play Twitter Contests and recently won our $15.00 CatToys.com gift certificate Summer Fun Contest by Direct Mailing us that CATS IN NEED is her favorite Animal Rescue…. after reading about her furballs, one can see why :<) xoxoxo

Here is what Andrea writes about her Kritter Litter.

We got Aurora first. She was five weeks old. She was adopted from a dog trainer at Pet Smart! If I had to do it all over again I would have waited longer before bringing her home because she has behavior and hygiene issues now. She’s not very nice, but she’s smart and does tricks so I love her very much. We got Ariel next because Aurora was quite a handful when she got to be about twelve weeks old. She was biting and being mean! Ariel mellowed her out for the most part because she is one of the sweetest most gentle cats ever. She’s my heart! She was originally supposed to have been my husband’s cat, but when they put her in his arms, she headbutted me when they took the adoption picture of us! Ariel was adopted from Cats in Need, Yorba Linda! Bond came from the Westminster Petco. He was supposed to have been a dog, but we got a doglike cat instead. He is beautiful! He was hanging in a little hammock when we came to bring him home. His brother had chewed off all of his whiskers! Now his whiskers are probably about four or five inches long. He was named after James Bond because of his huge gold eyes and snazzy tuxedo coat!

: I was named after Bond…. James Bond, 007…. at your service.

: Hi I am gentle purrr Ariel

: My name is Aurora!!!

My name is Tiger, I am a male, orange, tiger striped tabby. My Mom and Dad adopted me from a friend of a friend when I was just a kitteh. I have lived here with them for 7 years! Wow, gettin old. My favorite food is tuna, oh and bits of mommy’s steak! I like to nap on my mommy’s belly, of course! And I like any toy that has enough catnip to smell, some say catnip, but they lie!
