I have been having trouble with my little cat getting on the counters and
even on the stove! For obvious reasons I do not want her there. Her mom
has never gotten up there AFAIK. But the other day, mom discovered the bar
stool. She hopped up there. Then the baby wanted up there but they both
wouldn't fit. So today we bought another bar stool. They don't match but
both are the colors of the kitchen and the one we got today is open at the
bottom so my step stool can tuck underneath.

Anyway... They are both super happy now. They can sit up on them and watch
us cook which is all they wanted to do to begin with. They were both
smiling and purring. And the baby hasn't gotten on the counter since!
