spray bottle full of water, I’m using 4 of them right now to train my kitten not to jump on the counters, tables, etc. it always works for me. cats HATE water. it’s harmless to them and they get the hint not to do it.

Put some aluminum foil on the table. It can bother them when they step on it.

If you figure it out, let me know… The only way I’ve found to keep cats off furniture is to crowd the shelf with so much stuff that they have no place to land from a jump.

Use aluminum foil for a while. Just cover it. Cats hate stepping on it.

Kill them. Honestly, it’s the only way.
Assuming you love your cats, you’d better get used to them climbing on and around your electronics equipment. Remember that when you are not looking, they love to spray computers. That would be real nice in your coffee now, wouldn’t it?
Since you probably want to keep the cats and your computer, I’d suggest some kind of a cabinet that closes up so they can’t get to it. Not sure what to say about your poor coffee pot, though.
You have to remember that almost all cats spray. The better behaved ones just do it when you aren’t around.

When they jump on the desk, clap your hands and say no firmly, but not meanly. Then take them down. Soon, they will learn not to jump up on the desk. If that doesn’t work, spray it with water when it jumps and that will definitely work.

You should put stuff sticky on the computer and table. Usually in books I read they would put syrup which I don’t think you want to do, or you can put tape where the sticky part is up. It may not be so great. Another thing that MAY work is to put orange peels on top. If you tape it to the corners of the couch it stops scratching. It may stop them from jumping up.

a 9 volt battery and some fancy wiring…..do you mind if they climb on your kitchen counter, after they’ve been scratching all through their poops and pee? EWWWWWWWW

Every time they jump onto something you do not want them on, spritz them with water from a spray bottle. This may not be great to do around your computer desk, unless you are able to get them while you are sitting there.

First you will need some super glue and a step ladder. Open the ladder inside a room you that you do not mind the cat being present in. Apply the glue to the bottoms of the cats feet. Carefully hold the cat without it’s feet touching you and climb the ladder. Press each foot firmly to the ceiling. Your problem is now solved.
