It has taken some time. A lot of time to be fair but finally we are here, drumroll please, Torsten is no longer jumping up on the table!https://66.media.tumblr.com/d30ebc0c82f47001f4eb5baf26df4402/bf3df6ec06a131c4-a1/s1280x1920/7306bb57bd75917e9e1d53b543f41a1439bf6021.pnghttps://66.media.tumblr.com/c70c9caf45918b12963a88079f7559d6/5ed5798f68ec60a4-b6/s1280x1920/e64bab318baccf9cac07857c2ad28a23d3a29668.pngI love that little Ronja is laughing at the cat so obviously ignoring her mom and prancing on the table ;) https://66.media.tumblr.com/433985c3d82757ba96ce379f02f1a5b7/bf3df6ec06a131c4-4a/s1280x1920/5d4b3a42ebe6ce28613d478fa8a8f42ada327d1c.pngA quiet moment, just you and your love sitting together enjoying the peace when all the kiddos are asleep, now with added cat-butt.https://66.media.tumblr.com/70355d45bb0f0c02e99aa61659dd692a/bf3df6ec06a131c4-1f/s1280x1920/ab21c33e2b0996d4e7b2d9e3c22d728fd05d35d6.pngAnd finally we are here. Good on you Torsten! He is standing in the cake but we will take that, there's cat-hair everywhere anyways.

Congrats! Last time my Sims had a cat, it got upset when my Sims told it to get off the table and counters. Over and over. I found that offensive and got rid of it in a fit of rage :s

The cats and dogs really take a lot of time so my current sim has a little hedgehog instead.

For instance I have four counters in my kitchen, the cats aren't allowed on the ones near the stove (because fire and fur don't mix). The other counters are fair game.You can't have cats and not allow them to climb and jump, it is just their nature and what makes them fun to live with.

@troshalom There's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting your cats in certain places. As owner you make sure your home offers enough fun and diversity for them where you don't mind them being like the livingroom, etc. I grew up with four cats and am planning on getting a Maine Coon , but not before doing proper research and catproofing my house as well as making a secure outdoor space :)

My parents' cats know not to go on the dining table when someone is in the room (most of the time at least), but they certainly go there when no one is watching. I've never trained a cat to stay away from counters in sims.

Today is a good day. No more kitty butt's on the table!!

Maybe real life american cats that they are based on in game are different, but we just had to scold our cats a couple of times to keep the off the counters.

First time I did this in the sims, usually my sims let their cats do pretty much everything they want but I wanted to try something new :)

My sim cats got the pop up saying they learned to stay off the counters but they still climb on them, so think its a bug. My real life cats don't jump on counters or tables, we have a "Jackson Galaxy"type walkway in almost all the rooms. They don't get human food so we can place a plate of food on the counter and they won't steal the food, They get a mixture of dry and wet diet so we don't really have too much hunting happening like when they used to be on a dry diet only. All advice I got from watching My cat from hell on Animal planet LOL :D
