A cat's waywardness often comes back to haunt its owners.

Often the animal knows how it should not behave, but continues to do so intentionally.

For example, some cats really like to climb on tables and steal human food from there.

Let's figure out how to wean your pet off this bad habit.

Three ways to stop your cat from climbing on the table

The main principle in weaning an animal from bad habits is to use objects that cats do not like.

The first such object is foil. Cats are scared by its rustling and, having once jumped onto a surface covered with a shiny layer, will no longer want to repeat this feat.

The second method is to use smells that are not to the cat's liking. For example, small predators cannot stand the aroma of citrus fruits, therefore, by sprinkling the surface of the table with lemon or orange essential oil, you will definitely protect it from encroachment.

The third method is to use the cat's main enemy - water. Pour liquid into a pan and place it on the surface you want to protect.
