MODERATORS
Cats share territory with each other in nature, so if their human removes them from the counter, they're just going to think that the counter is the human's territory "right now" and cat is free to use it when human is gone.
A cat that likes you will in fact respect you and your wants...despite common belief
For the most part, sure. They still have the intelligence of like a toddler or something (haven’t researched it in like a year). Respect is only so relevant to their instincts
Cats aren't fully grown till around 5 years, but even still, some cats are a lot smarter than others. They are very trainable but your mileage will vary
While you’re there. Cats don’t own things, they rent things, it has nothing to do with respect. Cats don’t own things permanently and share territory with other cats.
