Cats can learn what they can not do. If your cat develops a habit (for example jumping to the kitchen table), there are several ways to prevent it.

You can use toy toys. So when a cat jumps on something, the toy will explode and jump. Cats do not like it and will jump down. The other way is with a water gun toys. However, make sure the cat does not realize that you have it. Cats are not easy to forgive, and once they realize someone causes them anxiety or hurt, they will stay away.
