Countertop Cruising
Cats have a natural affinity for lounging on countertops, shelves, and other elevated surfaces. The higher, the better. However, this behavior can pose hygiene and safety risks when they venture onto the stovetop. Despite your efforts, it can be challenging to completely stop this instinctual inclination.

Finding elevated spots in your home provides them with a strategic lookout, away from the reach of dogs and the curiosity of children.
