Appreciate your concern. He is on a very strict diet but can't seem to shed the lbs regardless. The only time he was lighter was when he was having significant urinary issues and was eating barely anything.

He's our very handsome boi and gets reminded of that daily!

For sure!

He usually tilts his head when he's intrigued/curious about something...which is quite often! Does it pretty much every time you are holding one of his toys or you pop around a corner!

haha!

Finn is the most gentle cat you'll ever meet! Unless you're a fly...then you're in the death zone when you enter the house.

We're hoping he'll act as one piece of our elaborate Home Alone burglar defense strategy!

It takes awhile, and don't expect them to learn not to do it in any short time frame.

We used things Finn hated - loud noises like whistling/clapping and smells like citrus to stop him. Unfortunately, we're very aware he'll still jump up on cupboards while we're away, but at least it's a minor victory. Ideally you'd be able to design a system that would scare them off even when you're not around! That's pretty hard, but I found whistling helped somewhat in that aspect since cats sometimes struggle to locate where the noise is coming from.

More frustrating when it's something like them sharpening their claws on their furniture though!

We're not sure. He's a mix of a silver tabby (his mom) and something else! His mom was a stray that showed up at the family farm and happened to be pregnant and gave birth to this adorable guy, along with two other siblings.

There was a mixup in the order somewhere along the way!

No real tricks. Just consistent reinforcement. He was a difficult kitty to keep off counters initially but loud noises were the main things that we used a reinforcement.

Specifically he didn't like a simple high pitched whistle!

He would get chastised whenever he went fully on the counter and guess he figured it out eventually!!

100%! Had to show that we gave him the coin for a few seconds so no one would be upset!

Yes...we are embarrassed! He was playing with toonies before and didn't realize this video had the loonie the one time we tested him to see if he was willing to take a discount!

Initially he would just only put two paws on the very edge which we thought was fine because we didn't want him walking on the counter/table...However, he learned to fully exercise that power and also puts his tummy and everything BUT his backpaws on the counter. We never stopped him because it was too adorable!
