i just adopted a new adult cat last week. the reason i was hesitant to do so, despite our obvious connection at first sight, was that i have several reptiles and small animals around the house. I was overjoyed to see her lack of an apparant desire to harm them, but she is a cat, and moving things catch attention. My question is what is the best way to keep her off the tops of cages and tables surrounding them. she knows what down means, and im pretty sure she knows shes not SUPPOSED to be in certain places. i started with a "No" and removing her to the floor. then it escalated to water spraying. she just cant help herself. its imperative i fix this problem, as a fallen heat lamp could be disastrous and a collapsed cage top could be the same. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me!
