Sparky's at it again. No, she didn't get onto the kitchen counter. She knows that's off limits. But nobody told her she couldn't sit on her little stool next to the counter and use her clever paws and naughty thumbs to pull a Costco apple pie off the counter. I had just mopped the floor, and I'll tell you, I was half tempted to scoop up that pie and put it back in the pan!
Sparky, however, had a better idea.
So I went went to get the mop once again, and when I returned, Sparky and Kyanne were chowing down. They were joined by Shona, my other dog, and let me just say that where dogs are concerned a pie doesn't have a chance.
While I mourned the loss of the apple pie (Costco has the best!) at least my three critters took care of the disposal. Kyanne is highly efficient at Hoovering up the last crumb. Now Sparky, Kyanne, and Shona have cinnamon breath.
Sparky ate her fill and then wandered off for a nap. Kyanne obligingly finished off the pie. Did this little accident cure Sparky of her shenanigans? Of course not! After Sparky awoke from her nap, she . . . well, that's a story for next week. *g*
Next thing, the dogs will be suggesting targets for Sparky to nudge off the counter! Actually, I’m very impressed that she doesn’t get up onto the coutner-tops — even when they’re told repeatedly that they’re off-limits most cats still go up there.

When my grand-pitbull visits, he’ll stand at the kitchen island on his hind legs, then stick his tongue out and simply lap up the deviled eggs, cheese and crackers, etc. “Ever Vigilant” is now our family motto!

How in the world did you train Sparky to keep off of the counters?!? You must be a cat-whisperer! I can’t keep any kind of food in my cabinets as mine will open the cabinet and climb in and help themselves! I heard a noise and came downstairs one night to find bags and bags (I buy from our local food co-op) of beans, nuts and seeds torn open and the contents all over my counters and floors. I swept up quinoa for weeks! So now my beans and quinoa are stored in mason jars to keep them out and the nuts are in the fridge. Something like that pie would have been kept in my oven, which is perfect food storage as they can’t open it and I don’t use it to cook!

I poured a bowl of cereal for the DH the other morning and stopped to get his toast out of the toaster and get it buttered while it was still hot. I turned around to a crunching noise only to find Garth helping himself to the cereal. And it was DRY! No milk yet, but he was happily maowing down. *sigh* Though I have tried all the training methods in the world, I have never had any luck keeping cats off counters. And the cupboards! I haven’t this time though I should because he’s so good at opening them, but I used to keep child locks on them. Not for the girls when they were little, but for the cats!

I have to bake an apple pie tomorrow…
I don’t remember that any of our cats would have been dropping stuff from the kitchen counter or table -or walking on them. I guess mom managed to train them. Can’t say the same about my brother’s cat. But that was because he HAD to eat his food on a kitchen counter. Otherwise the dog would have eaten his food.

Hi, HJ. The dogs know about Sparky’s penchant for knocking things off my desk, so when she gets playful, the dogs come running, because they know something tasty might land at their feet (target or no target!).
As far as Sparky not getting on the kitchen counters, for the most part she knows to stay off them because I’ve trained her to stay off. Once in awhile I catch her cruising the stove or counter, but because I never leave food anywhere on the counter or in the sink (not even dirty dishes), there’s no reason for her to be on the counters. Boring. No food, no toys. *g*

LOL, Kristine. “Vigilance” is a key word here. Training a dog or cat does require vigilence. And in your case, pit bulls, extremely smart dogs, know how to get at food within a tongue’s range!

LOL! I don’t know if I’m a cat whisperer, Donna, but I’ve learned what works for most cats. The most recent addition to my training arsenal is clicker training. When I volunteered at the local humane society, we used clicker training, and once I saw how effective it was, I began using it at home. That’s not to say I don’t occasionally resort to a squirt bottle.
I’ve used my combination clicker/whistle to train my dogs to stop barking at the neighbor. Or rather, to divert their attention and make them come running at top speed for a doggy treat. *g* It’s pretty amazing to see two excited dogs suddenly stop barking when they hear the whistle. They immediately whirl and race to the house for their treat. Instant silence, with a treat for good measure.
I had to laugh about your cats getting into the food and spreading seeds and beans all over the kitchen. That’s why I don’t store food in lower cabinets. I’ve also had excellent results with using 2″ wide box sealing tape. I put pieces of it in the cabinets, face up, or on the kitchen counter. Cats absolutely hate tape on their feet or butt or tail.

Theo, Garth must have discerning tastes! Too funny! The only time Sparky got into my cereal, it was dry–I hadn’t added milk yet. That was when she was a kitten. Now that she’s all grown up, she doesn’t really care for people food. That could be because I spend a minor fortune buying super-premium dry cat food. After much research, I’ve found 5-6 brands that are tops in nutrition, and Sparky much prefers them to people food.

Minna, once the remodel of my laundry room is finished, I’ll be feeding my cat on top of the washer and dryer, to keep the dogs from stealing her food.
And I’m with you on the apple pie! I only got one slice from the Costco pie before Sparky got to it.

Oh, good! I’ve been wanting to suggest this table for Sparky’s naps and general entertainment, but it kept getting bounced back from the email addy listed on the site. Check this out, everyone with rowdy, mischevious or bored cats! Fun!!!

Faith, I loved the link! The desk for humans AND cats is a hoot. I’ll bet if I had that desk, Sparky would be forever poking me in the stomach or reaching her paws out the side of the desk and trying to capture things on the desk top. Great link! (And so sorry about the link to my e-mail not working for you!)

When we had a cat and a dog in general Fergie the cat was very good about the table tops only mooching along them in order to show the dog he could get where a large springer spaniel couldn’t reach! Apart that is when I was fool enough to leave something out then we had synchronized table clearing !With Fergie chucking down to Ben the dog what he didn’t fancy !And I had to be very careful with apple cake of all things Fergie loved it the only way to eat it in peace was to do so when he wasn’t around!

Jo, your Fergie sounds very much like Sparky! When she was a kitten, she liked people food, and ate everything from Brussels sprouts to spaghetti. Oddly enough, now that she’s almost grown up, she still clamors for tidbits when I’m in the kitchen, but then she turns up her nose at it. Steak, chicken, veggies–nothing catches her fancy.
I had to laugh at Fergie chucking the stuff she didn’t fancy to your dog. Sparky is totally fearless in that respect. Whenever I clean out the fridge, the dogs know it’s treat time, and stand drooling in the kitchen while I toss them tidbits. If they miss a toss and it lands on the floor, Sparky is the first to pounce on it, beating out a 70 lb. Boxer and an 85 lb. Doberman. However, she just sniffs it and then lets the dogs snarf if down!
