Cats on Counters!

I was telling someone today how I have the perfect cat, that very rare perfect cat. Pumpkin, a strictly indoor cat, has never gone potty outside the litter box, never jumps onto things she's not supposed to, and actually listens to my commands! I say, "Pumpkin, get back here" and here she comes. She's mellow. sweet, affectionate, and so darn cute. She's 11 years old and has always been the perfect cat. Her favorite spots to chill are in the sink of the guest bathroom or any soft bed or in front of an open window.

Her and her brother (Bubba, yorkie) get treats twice a day and she always knows when that will happen so she will usually jump on the dining room table and wait for it. We rarely use the table for eating. After her treat she jumps right down. Well, today I walk into the kitchen and there she is! All relaxed and laying on the kitchen counter! Dad would not like that! So we won't tell him and hope he doesn't read this post.

So what is your opinion about cats on kitchen counter tops? Do you let them up there or do you shoo them off?
