you don't have to put up with it! Even though it may seem like
your cat cannot be trained, a little bit of patience and
persistence can help you get a feline housemate that is well
behaved and a pleasure to live with.

do that is to use tension rods. When your cat tries to climb up
on the curtain that is attached with a tension rod, the whole
thing will come tumbling down and make a clatter that will scare
him. This might be a bit inconvenient for a while, but your cat
will soon learn that climbing on the curtains is not fun and
will avoid them altogether. You can do this temporarily until
your cat gets the hint and then go back to your usual curtain
rods.
Another thing is that you can simply use vertical blinds in your
windows. Your cat

distasteful substance on them. Cayenne pepper, biter apple,
orange, nail polish orange peels, lemon peels and sprays
specifically purchased for this purpose in the pet store can all
do the trick. The next time your cat goes to chew he'll think
"ick!" and won't want to chew that item again. Of course, you
want to test the item

If your cat is a garbage digger, the best solution is to just
not make it available to him. Store the garbage in a cabinet or
in the garage. If you have to have the garbage out then make
sure there is a tight lid and avoid swing top lids. A good
garbage pail would be one that you have to lift off the top or
one that you have to use your foot to open. If your cat is
tipping the garbage can over put something heavy enough so that
they are unable to tip it over

Cats hate loud noises and surprises and to discourage him from
jumping on the counter you can leave some items up there that
will make a loud noise when he jumps up. Try putting empty
aluminum cans on the edge with pennies in them or lay utensils
on the counter or cover it in foil paper.

to the scratcher and scratch it myself.

She comes right over and
uses it instead of the rug. A couple of times she has run right
over to it and I do notice her using it more often so hopefully
she is getting the hint. You can try this with any type of
scratcher your cat prefers, just make sure you put one handy in
the room she likes to scratch up.
