What do you do if your cat jumps on the stove?
For thermal burns: First and second degree burns should be flushed with lots of cool water for about 20 minutes. This can be accomplished by covering the area with a wet cloth and pouring water gently onto the cloth, or immersing the burned area in cool water. Cats do not like sprayed water, so avoid that if possible.
How high is it safe for a kitten to jump?

Can a kitten jump up on a bed?
Thanks. A kitten won’t be able to jump that high, but kittens are the best climbers in the world. If you don’t want her to climb up via the mattress, sheets and blankets, put a small cat tree or carpeted climber next to the bed. She might decide to use that, or she might prefer the mattress/sheet/blanket route.

Why is my kitten jumping all over the place?
As with all young mammals, this seemingly crazy behavior is just your kitten’s way of practicing to become an adult. Because of their predatory nature, kittens will explore new places and get used to their environment by following their instincts, which include biting, jumping and chasing after things.
