Yes. Trying to stop my male cat from jumping on the table and counters is futile. I just wipe down the counters and table with antimicrobial wipes before I do any food prep. I don't mind sharing the rest of the furniture with him.
**Trixie - When we first adopted Marcus, he managed to turn on one of the stove burners and he lost all of the whiskers on the right side of his face. I had to buy child safety locks while we lived in that apartment.

My cat is allowed on the bed, the couch, and the chairs. She knows better than to even think about getting on the counters, the tables, or anything else. Why? Because I was brought up with the idea that cats have no place on the kitchen counters for one. No desire to have feet that are in a litter box where I make my meals.

the cats can go on any of the furniture they want, one even has his own bunk bed. they get yelled at if they jump on the counters, because whats up there is none of their business. the dog, she has her own beds. I don't like her on the furniture because she is much larger, smells worse than the cats and sheds more. sometimes I leave her out of her room when im gone and I know she gets on the furniture or when there is a thunder storm, but I don't scold her, its an agreement we have.

I've only had a rabbit but I let it on the couch and stuff.. as long as it's trained I don't see the problem

Yeah, my cats are spoiled - I let them do most anything they want. But I don't like them going near the stove - we've had a couple tails catch on fire in the past.
* Jeez, Liv - he's lucky he didn't burn up his whole face... and your apartment! That's pretty scary!
