The ones high up on the wall she leaves alone. She hasn't figured out jumping and turning them on (and i'm not going to tell her!). It's the one in the bathroom and the one in the kitchen that are the biggest problems, and they are in reach of the counter.

I've tried putting sticky paw double-sided tape on the counters and that worked for half a day, before she decided the sticky didn't bug her enough to leave the lights alone. I've tried piling heavy boxes and stuff on the counters right against the switches to where I can barely squeeze my fingers in to turn them on myself, and she pushes even the heaviest boxes off the counter by bracing herself on the wall (I didn't believe it until I saw her do it, and I don't want her to drop a heavy box on top of one of the other cats, or God forbid, little tiny Jasper)! If they're too heavy to push, she climbs on or around them and strains until she can work her paw in the gap and hook the switch on.

I'm ready to cut all four of her legs off and just have a cat sausage scooting around the floor like a slug.

Okay, I wouldn't really do that, but it IS tempting
