    I'd say Mr. Sprinkles is digging the car ride. My two are OK in their carriers but not loose.

    Nothing quite like a dollar store squirt bottle. Works wonders to condition them to stay off counters.

    LOLOL as long as either you are there to administer the squirt or you automate it!

    I have used spray bottles for decades. As soon as you leave they have the run of the place. Cats are smart!

    Leave the squirt bottle on the counter when you go out. It works with my two.

    Brilliant!

    There's no need for such things for Mr. Sprinkles.

    Forgot to post this here. Made my own ghetto style rear bumper protector with these adhesive backed rubber strip things from Harbor Freight. Not beautiful but very functional and only cost me $10. They've been on for the past 1000 miles including going 75-80 MPH for four and a half hours each way to St. Louis and back so... it works I guess!
