“Cats only come to you when they want something (-1)”
I had cats who both came when called, and came just to get love. I’ve also known a few.
“Cats jump on food prep areas”
Untrained/disciplined cats jump on them. Trained animals know their limits.
“Dogs can’t reach those areas”
What kind of dog do you have? Oh yeah, a short-legged terrier. Dogs WILL try - again, UNTRAINED animals.
I’ll never forget the look on my husband’s face when he got home from the store....looking all over the kitchen for the 2 filets he put on a plate, on the edge of the counter, with a young GSD...alone in the house.
The plate was there, however ... ;)
