Cats on the kitchen counter?

Cats on the kitchen counter?
All our cats have known they were not allowed on the kitchen counters, so they stay off the counters... until we leave the room or go to sleep. Dainty paw marks in the windowsill dust and a sprinkling of kitty fur on the counter tile is a giveaway. Unless I want to spend my life sitting on the kitchen island with a spray bottle in my hand until I fall over from sleep deprivation, I wipe down the counter and get on with life.
So...meh.

Only if they're going to help with the cooking
They know not to let me catch them. But sometimes I wish I had a nanny-cam to see what the man-cat and his BFF the dog are up to because I walk in the door and find that nobody's cleaned up from the party.
Hey man-cat said you need to get some beer and hot wings.
Ya, it's Saturday night. But he's across the road at that opium den.
Well sure, as long as you wipe them down with bleach before you use them I guess. But I've seen people letting their cats hang out on the counter and not shoo them off.
I just think about all of the things they step in, their litter box especially. :shock:

The idea of the germs actually bothers me less than the hair. I am pretty fast to the projectile vomit when I get hair in my mouth. I am amazed it doesn't happen more often considering how many dogs we have, especially when they are shedding. I have a mixed breed dog that is the downiest dog that has ever walked this planet--of this I am certain.
Antibacterial wipes, and you're good to go. And keep in mind that cats clean themselves a lot. I love the way they spread their toesies when bathing. And they wash up to remove your cooties after you've finished petting them too.

Isn't it hysterical when they gnaw and yank between each toe, yanking out the most minute trace of lint, sand, or fur mat? Mine almost make me cringe with the gusto of their between-the-toes groomfest! :lol:
And yes, any area you touch will immediately be rewashed!
