Our kitten (who's 4 and a half months old) jumps up onto the kitchen worktops. We don't want her to do it because it's unhygienic. She has also knocked over a case of flowers (spilling water everywhere) and a potted plant (breaking the pot) that was on the windowsill. We have nowhere else we can put things to keep them out of reach!
Her and her brother aren't allowed outside yet. We're waiting for them to be neutered which is booked for a few weeks' time. So I wonder if they're getting bored of being cooped up. They do have each other to play with, and we play with them too (at least once a day).
I'm at a loss as to what we can do. Would it help to buy one of those tall cat towers for them to climb and play with? I'm worried if we buy it they won't use it and will keep jumping up in the kitchen.
We can't shut them out of the kitchen because it's an open plan kitchen/dining area, with a utility room off the kitchen, and we keep their food and water bowls in the kitchen and their litter trays in the utility room.
