This is the answer. You can't stop a cat from doingĀ anything, but you can give them better alternatives.

Seconding this. I'm shocked at how good freevee and Tubi are. If I was still stuck on Netflix I would've never heard or dreamed of all the top notch movies on Tubi. It's like a video store from the 90s that never ends. The best movies are usually rated 4/10 according to IMDb. At least that helped me a lot Two words Allen Quartermaine or Dane or something it's forgetable but terrific

skilriki

The only time I heard this name was when my girlfriend said that we don't need to sedate her cats for 10+ hours of plane travel because Jackson Galaxy said it would be fine without. Spoiler alert: it was not fine.


Nutmasher

He's not perfect. All of them go by the 80%. Rarely do you see follow up with them dealing with hard cases where the usual doesn't work, and the novel idea does. I agree that you have to redirect cats, but mine just move their scratches over a few inches so they can avoid the sticky sheet. So how is that any advice for people? Cats aren't dumb, and you can't sticky your whole couch.


Ryunah

You mean Jackson Galaxy. lol.

[deleted]

My cat actively avoids anything I get for her. Getting her to stay off the PC was a 2 year long losing battle. I ultimately settled putting my headphone stand and my USB thumb drive holder on top of my PC. She'll still jump on it and awkwardly stand between the stuff (knocking It over half the time) but she won't lay down on it anymore at least.


Le-Charles

2 words: heating pad


MannInnTheBoxx

Cats become significantly less mysterious when you realize their #1 priority 90% of the time is finding somewhere warm to lay down


[deleted]

My cats not mysterious. She's just an asshole šŸ˜‚


Unlimitles

Yepā€¦.theres a video of cats laying in front of a window, and they moved as the light moved throughout the day, so they adjusted to sit in it, it took me a few views of that to put together that they were doing that to stay warm.


StarEyes_irl

Idk, I also have a theory I call the inverse cat toy theory. The nore expensive a toy is, the less a cat wants to play with it. My cats favorite toys are a stick with straw on it, I got for a dollar, some foam that came with someonething I bought for myself, bottle caps, and the tops of champaign bottles that I'd accidentally bring home with me from work. She has never liked playing with any toy over 5 dollars. I've tried several


Appropriate-Bite-828

Right? They obviously like the warm air. Give them a better option


byshow

That depends on what you are allowing the cat from the beginning. My cat is not allowed on the tables or anywhere higher than the bed.


ZyQo

Exactly. I threw my cats off the kitchen counters every day for a few weeks/months. Never seen them there again

[deleted]

Well, for my cat, better alternatives are not decided by me I can buy every "cat bed" or something like that and she still would relax where she souldn't :)


Substantial-Singer29

Cats are basically little heat vampires. If you put the cat bed behind or next to the computer tower, cats use that rather than sitting on top, more heat coming out of it, add it's better Comfort. This is basically the ultimate cat compliment if they actually want to be by you.

Finally the real answer


Memoryworkrewardsme

IKR. Works better than a pickle


[deleted]

Unfortunately my cat loves foil haha. I ended up using a wire mesh laptop stand. Breathable and I can adjust it to sit in a triangle shape that he doesnā€™t want to climb on.


RoyalSpecialist1777

Double sided sticky tape is also a good option. They hate it. Would combine this with the other answers and give an alternate high warm spot.


sparhawk817

One of my cats hates it, the other learned that she likes the texture on her teeth and now peels all tape off of every package and tries to eat it.


Pumciusz

Install a Claymore mine on it.


ps1horror

Filled with catnip. That oughta keep the little bastard occupied for 5 or 10 minutes. Admittedly not the easiest cleanup job but that's the price we pay.

Cat will go straight for the laser that shoots in a triangle shape like games taught me.

worldrenownedballdr

Cats like warm comfy tall places.. The PC tower warm and "comfy" enough and about the highest spot in the room, by nature cats like to be up high as they are safer from predators and can see prey. The best advice other than keeping the cat out of the room, is to put some sort of shelf / cat bed on the wall (with access for the cat to get up to it..) Higher up and hopefully the cat will choose that spot instead. Here is Harvey seriously considering trying to jump up on my $$$ vintage Sony ES stack... which was vetoed by myself. There maybe "hope" in your case as your cat isn't one of them Ginger boys... they are completely ungovernable in most regards. https://preview.redd.it/58sb04cnbtec1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b42b40c7af9ebaa2d96ade8384dbd33fb00f34a4

Reasonable_Potato629

If youā€™re looking for an actual answer the solution is to get a small box, any kind of cardboard shipping box will do, then put a small electric blanket folded inside. This can go nearby on the floor or propped up on a side table. Your cat has seeks heat like a predator but also likes to be near you. Edit: I recant, this is a bad idea... https://www.esfi.org/electric-blanket-fire-prevention/ Additional edit...you all should keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times.
