Granny's gone and done it again

Success! I finally figured out how to keep my (insert angry word here) CAT from jumping up on my smooth glasstop stove at night and raiding whatever she can find. Usually it's not much unless one of the kids didn't wipe the counter completely clean, or the butter dish didn't get put away ... but I was plenty annoyed when she knocked said butter dish on the floor and broke it! I've tried various things like sprinkling salt all over the stove but that just leaves a mess for me to clean up. But I finally found the magic deterrent! I left a dishwasher pod on top of the stove a few nights ago, and every night since, and there have been NO kitty-cat paw prints on the stove since! Not one! Yaay!! :celebrate

I'll have to remember that one. It works much better than "The Hard Way." When I was a youngster, our big orange tomcat spent the summer lounging on the cool cast iron of our wood stove ... until the morning after a cold early Fall evening followed by a warm morning. He proved the old adage of "A cat will sit on a hot stove once, then never again on a cold one." For the rest of his many years, the closest he ever got to the woodstove was the rug in front of it!

Aww, poor Kitty! I wanted to leave the oven on but my family said that was mean. I wouldn't have put in on Broil!
