22. I have never seen our cat on the kitchen counter.

I have caught her on the table. When she is caught, she jumps down. The only time I have seen her on the twble is if there is a cup of water on the table. I use a 16ounce plastic cup fir ice water. It sits on a side table in the family room. If I leave the room, she sometimes sticks her face into it. If the cup is on the kitchen table, she can't help herself, she just has to sticker face into the cup. The funniest thing was one time there was almost no water in the cup. She put her head so far down the cup that it got stuck on her head. She ran past me with the cup on her head, hit the wall, and it came off. She pretended nothing happened (kind of like when you stumble on nothing in a store, look around to see if anyone saw you, and walk on like it didn't happen).
