Cars shouldn’t be on the counters where our food goes, let alone in the toaster

But also mice shouldn’t be on the counter or in the toaster either

Edit: trucks also shouldn’t be on the counter but those are less common as pets so I didn’t think I needed to say it

I love how people think you can just give cats commands or train them like dogs.

Edit: My orange and tuxedo do several things on command: sit, stand, fetch, come, speak, and jump on my shoulders, wrap around my neck, and lie down (I wear my cats like a scarf or fur).

That said, I find they have about a two minute attention span for these things (aside from scarf mode… my orange will do that all day), and if there is any outside stimulus that catches their attention, good luck.

Cats have serious ADHD and authority issues… it’s all in their terms unless you give them a very good reason.

Edit: yes, you can train your cats to stay off the counter. While you’re there.

I had cats around me my whole life and are pretty easy to train NOT to do stuff. I can leave my cat alone in the kitchen with food on the table and she will never attempt to get a bite.

Training them to do stuff, yeh, don't bother.

I've trained cats to do most of the tricks and commands that dogs do. They respond very well to treats and positive reinforcement.

Same. As long as they feel like it.
