Update:
Not sure if this will work for you but I can confirm this finally fixed the cat jumping on the counter issue. After swapping between “lecture” and “scold” about jumping on counters a literal 20-50 times, I eventually got the music and notification that my cat had learned not to jump on the counters. Lo, and behold however, my cat was back on the counter within seconds.
It was at this point that I evicted my household and then moved them back into the house - if you move back in “furnished”, you essentially just return to your home. When the cat started jumping on the counters again, I repeated my “lecture”/“scold” routine and got the successful training message again after about 15 attempts. But this time... IT ACTUALLY WORKED. The cat now goes over to the places it usually would jump to and looks up at them but doesn’t follow through with it anymore.
Best of luck!
Details: my cat’s characteristics are glutton, fluffy, and clever.
Yes, me. I just got Cats and Dogs and it's happening. My cats can be trained out of all other behaviours, but not jumping on counters. Supposedly they have learned not to, but they just keep doing it. Repeated lectures make no difference. Sometimes the option to lecture them doesn't even appear.
