My oldest brother's cats jump all over the counters in the kitchen, on the
dining room table, etc. And, like you, it makes me cringe. I must have
been blessed with the only cat who doesn't leap up on tables or counters.
The only counter I *ever* saw her jump up on was the one in my bathroom when
I had the water running. She likes to drink from a running faucet. I
solved that problem very simply by getting her a Drinkwell pet fountain
