All of them are allowed up on the counter. But, the stove has always been off limits of course. The older cats learned it at an early age, and even Storm in Mikesch learned very well and quickly. Ambercat is the first cat that has been impossible to teach. We'll see how the foil works.

Ambercat, you stubborn little mule! The only thing I ever gave Claire a verbal scolding in an angry raised voice about was getting up on kitchen surfaces. Once in a blue moon she'll have a lapse, but for the most part she got the message. But she never turned on burners like Pyrocat! That's downright diabolical...LOL!

Their relationship is more like Big-Little brother now that Ambercat has been taught the basics his mother never got the chance to. They're basically litter-mates now.

Claire needs good thoughts at the moment...found a big lump in one of her ear flaps. She's going into the vets tomorrow to get it checked out.
