Looking for a spray to keep kittens off tables

[Dznypal]

We have a 7 month kitten that’s been very naughty lately

Lately she’s been climbing on table and counters knocking everything over
We’re thinking of trying a furniture spray.
Does anyone have a hood recommation for one.
We do have one for fabric chairs
But it’s not for tables

Cats jump and climb- they love to be up high- its part of their instinctual defenses and you can't train that out of them. You can try using a spray, but you will likely only be teaching them to run from the spray, not to stay off the tables. The only way to ensure a cat stays off the tables is to never leave home. Honestly its' less exhausting to simply move anything breakable and use a tablecloth that ensures their claws will not scratch the finish of your table. Its also helpful to have a climbing tree- most cats love these and it gives them their space to climb. Pet proof your home, just like you child proof a home to keep them safe, and damage to a minimum. Finally try adding several short play times each day so the kitten has other opportunities to master their "skills" and you can constructively help them with the zoomies.

ETA: I would try leaving aluminum foil spread out where you don't want her to jump.

7 cats in my lifetime. I gave up on trying to discipline a cat about 60 years ago.

That was my point.

Spray some PAM on the table top! It won't stop them from jumping on the table, but they will get tired of just sliding off the other side.

Positive reinforcement works better than punishment. Buy a tall cat tree/perch. Move them from the table & counter to the perch every time they jump on the table/counter. When you see them use the new tree/perch give them a treat.

Or just give up.
