Well, I have 5 lovely indoor felines and 3 lovely canines.
As for training them to stay off tables and countertops it works as long as they have me in site. I know what goes on while I am sleeping LOL
I am with some of the other ladies. Just throw a sheet over everthing and always make sure your pins are safely tucked away. One of my kitties decided at one time to take every single straight pin out of my pincushion and neatly lay those around it. This taught me a lesson.
