VIDEO: A Simple Solution To An Everyday Problem: How To Keep The Cats Off The Counter

Daniel Babineau and his partner were in a bit of a pickle.

One of their cats had been causing mischief along the kitchen counters at night, they just didn't know which cat it was.

So a moment of enlightenment inspired Daniel to set a night camera up to spot the bold cat.

He also laid kitchen tinfoil along the counter in an effort to spook the cat.

This is what he wrote underneath his YouTube clip:

"Lately one of our cats has been causing mischief. We've been trying to find out which one it was. One of our cats, Jack (who is one of two possible suspects), jumped up on the counter only to be positively spooked by the tinfoil that was laid down to deter the cats.

This happened around 2:00 AM.

May happen tomorrow night, we'll have to see... But the camera will definitely be rolling again!"

A moment of genius Daniel, well done!
