We don't have a SV yet as I am still in the research phase (i.e., waiting for the DH to decide we should get one). I'm using this time to gather information since I have tons of questions, so here goes the first one.
Are they just going to be on the counters? Is it a battle even worth fighting? I read here someone saying that you can train them to stay off of counters while you're looking at them but all bets are off when you leave the room. My impression is that if a specific SV decides it wants to be on the counters then it's going to be on the counters. Has anybody ever had one that wanted to be on the kitchen counters but you managed to keep them off?
I've always had a no-cats-on-the-counters home and I'm wondering if that's something I will be able to maintain, or if Savannah on the counters is something I will just need to accept as part of being owned.
