How do I keep this cat off of my table / counter?!?

cats HATE plastic. If you can get some plastic covers that can come off when company comes, get them. Also, plastic wrap works well. Bubble wrap (for packing), inside out tape (sticky side out), anything sticky, and there is also a spray but I don't know how effective it is. Other than that, get him declawed if he is going to be an INSIDE ONLY cat - NOT if he is going to be outside at any time.
