If you stopped them from jumping up on the coubter, the cat will just wait for you to not be around.
What I did was set a motion activated can of pressurized air up on the counter. Now the cat get’s “punished” for going up there whether I’m there or not.
A couple weeks of this was enough to not have him jump up there for years. In fact he seems to avoid ALL kitchen counters, because he doesn’t jump onto them when visiting relatives or friends, either.
He still climbs all over everything else, just not kitchen counters.
That depends on how you trained them.
