This cat and I

So I'm getting used to the cat. He's pretty sweet except when he attacks my ankle as I walk for no reason.

I'm doing ok with the litter box but I'm still ready struggling with him jumping on the counter. He jumps up and I put him down. We do this over and over. I have to have Sissy take him to her room so I can cook.
I've wiped my counters down 1000 times a day since we got him.

Any tips or I'm I just SOL?

Honestly just saying HEY! or NO! usually works.
Anything other than that is too harsh and you'll never bond with it.
Also patience patience patience

@Lilymoon I tell him no and I put him on the ground and then he looks at me meows and jumps back up and then I do it over and over and over again LOL I know he's just a kitten and hopefully me constantly telling him no and putting him down will break him of the habit it's just a struggle for me right now getting to that point

@Cigarguy they don't like loud voices ... try to be loud and firm.
Hopefully he'll come around at some point. 😺

@Lilymoon I think the biggest issue is he still likes to play too much and he thinks it's kind of a game and he wants to see what I'm doing on the counter and help me LOL he's still young

@Cigarguy yeah could be... he's just getting used to you.

@Cigarguy yep and I just got to suck it up can't get rid of him now kids are in love with them not that I ever thought of getting rid of him

@Cigarguy I'm tellin ya once you bond with it they become wonderful pets. Good luck!

@Cigarguy I honestly don't see the cat too much because He follows my daughter everywhere he sits next to her and her bean bag chair he stays with her in her room they have definitely bonded
Lilymoon · F
@Cigarguy Yep. The bonding is essential but he's still just a kitten ...

@Lilymoon and he has his forever home with us. I will be ok or I'll just keep watching my counters a thousand times a day and go on with life LOL
