That was exactly what I hoped for :]

This has top 15 written all over it!

I am so going to have to try this for myself.

yes dear, we can get that cat now

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Apparently foil is a good way to keep cats off of the kitchen counter ... especially when said foil is attached to a car battery.

Take that, cat!

That was awesome! I wonder if my cats would react like that...

...or one of the wall outlets.

Yes. I'm a dog person.

This video needs slow motion replay.

My god, how can the cat stand to even go in that kitchen?

Comedy aside, the reason this works so well is because the cat does not associate the negative with you.

If you scream at the cat or swat it away every time it jumps on the counter, it will learn not to go on the counter when you're around.

If you put down foil or masking tape (sticky side up), the cat will learn that the counter is an unpleasant place to be and will no longer desire to go there.
