They used to jump up in the kitchen and put their front paws up on the edge of the counter so they could get at anything we had carelessly forgotten about. Well one day, my wife had just made a fresh chocolate cake, covered it and pushed it to the back of the counter. We then left the house for a little while on some errands. Upon our return, there was one very clean cake pan on the floor and little chocolate footprints everywhere.
I went out to the garage and got my fence charger. I then laid two strips of aluminum foil out. One along the top edge of the kitchen counter and one on the floor against the counter. I hooked them up to the fence charger with alligator clips, wet the foil down with a fine mist, plugged the charger in and left something tempting up on the counter and left the room. Within a couple minutes, there were a couple surprised yelps and we never had that problem again. Perhaps you could do something similar up on your layout to deter the kittys.
