[Tiger's Mom]

Tiger gets on my laundry counter every time I had to put a belly band on him or brush his tooth or comb/brush his hair (too lazy to go down to his level ) . . . but in my kitchen, I let him sit on my high stool and give him something to chew or entertain himself while my hubby and I eat dinner. He occassionally will put both front paws on the island counter but never climb up. Of course when I am busy in the kitchen and I want him close, I sometimes put his crate on my island so he knows why I cannot attend to him and he seemed content to just watch me until he gets bored and then takes a nap . . . . but I dare not let him walk on my island table only because I fear he might jump off it and break a leg . . . .
