cat jumping on furniture

Question
My cat always jumps on our furniture/animal cages now. We used to spray him with water but now he isn' scared of water anymore. We've tried loud noises like slamming a table or firmly yelling NO! but he isnt scared of it anymore. Any suggestions to help my cat to stop jumping on places he's not supposed to jump on

Answer
Paulo,

Cats LIKE to be up high. I would get him a kitty condo (scratching post tree) that he can climb up on before punishing him for getting on what he's not supposed to be on. Give him something of his own that he can jump up on. Then use a rolled up newspaper and slap it against what he gets up on that you don't want him to. He should associate the loud noise with jumping on something he shouldn't.

Also getting him a friend to play kitty games with, and for company and companionship, helps not to have a bored kitty that gets into trouble.
