I gave up on trailing my dang cats. They don't get on the counters, just jump onto the fridge and then on top of th cabinets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278274 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:23:45 +0000 blackbird 278274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear that tape can train them. They don't like sticky things on their feet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278139 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:15:10 +0000 calsmom 278139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: We keep all of our washed bottle parts and pacifiers in the cage. The pacifiers were in the sink to wash later. </p> <p>The dirty dishes will keep her out of the sink? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278107 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:52:39 +0000 anonysquire 278107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggest leaving the sink full of dirty dishes at all times!</p> <p>Don't they make little cages for drying pacifiers and bottle nipples in the dish washer? Maybe keep them in those on the counters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278063 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:28:50 +0000 calsmom 278063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the problem...she does it when we aren't around. She's a sneaky little devil. She knows to not do it when we are around. I was napping when she did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278040 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:16:42 +0000 hellobeeboston 278040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hey - we did the same think as goldilocks with our cat --- water bottle spritz's whenever she was being bad. We usually caught her in the act, so I'm not sure what to tell you if the cat is doing it in the middle of the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278022 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:10:09 +0000 Goldilocks1107 278022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had an adventuresome kitty, we'd spritz her with a water bottle when she did something naughty. Luckily (?) our current cat is too fat and lazy to jump on the counters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-a-cat-out-of-the-sink#post-278018 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:07:52 +0000 calsmom 278018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cat got into the kitchen sink and got two of our son's pacifiers out and used them as toys this morning. It isn't the first time it has happened, but it has been a couple of months since she has done this so we thought it was water under the bridge. We've gone the foil route, but I'm fed up with foil coating our kitchen counters when we are not using them. Is there another approach we can use to deter her from doing this? </p>
