Cats like to lounge anywhere they feel like, which often means lounging in places where humans don’t want them. One place where cats tend to lounge is on kitchen counters, which can make for a less than sanitary place to put food.
So if you want to keep your cat off the kitchen counters, you should take some steps like removing bar stools or placing aluminum foil on the counter so the crackling sound will discourage the cat. By making kitchen counters less inviting, you can (hopefully) keep your cat away from them.
