People Attempting (And Failing) To Keep Their Cats Off Counters By Hissterical Methods: Funny Viral Thread

If there is one thing that every cat owner in the world knows is that cats don't ask for permission. The meow "please" is not in their vocabulary. Cats do whatever they want whenever they want, and if you don't like it, that's your problem. Your cats will sit in all the places they're not allowed to - and stare you directly in the eyes while they do. Your cats will steal food right off your plate - because it's not your plate, it's their plate, silly human. You can try to train your cat, but chances are that your cats will end up training you. Somehow. It just happens.

It's always funny to see people try to train their cats though, because- well, most things we can handle, but every one of us, humans, has something that we really don't want our cats to do. Of course, eventually, you'll cave, you'll have no choice. But the process toward that failing is funny for the rest of us to watch.

Oh, friend, we have been here before. We understand your frustration, and we can tell you - from purrsonal experience - that it will get easier, over time, to do exactly as your cat says. No, chances are that you will not be able to train it to not go on counters if it really wants to, but you will accept it eventually, and life will be easier for it.

The plan was never a plan to begin with. One cannot stop a cat from doing what it wants to do if it actually wants to do it. Some cats will just do The Thing because they can tell that you don't want them to, so if you make it difficult for them, they might give it up. But if they actually just want it for themselves… you ain't got no chance.
