Is there an epoxy that works in excess of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and bonds steel? (the steel turns red hot)If anyone knows what a pulse jet is i'm trying to see if one could be built without a welder and expensive tools.
Bright red is a lot hotter than 5oo degFIt is more like 800-900 degrees, You are not talking about organic gluesA glass/glass ceramic frit might workThe difference in thermal expansion between the stainless steal and the ceramic are an extreme limitationYou might talk to experts at Corning IncResearch and get a better answer and a few ideas.
I sure don't like your vet's idea-too riskyTry putting foil on the table, they don't like the feelI know it's a lot of foil, but maybe in time he will get the messageI have the same problem and will try the foil, but I am interested in the answers you receive here.
my mom used the mouse trap trick and it workedHowever, my sisters cat is stuborn and evil and she still has to place them out every once in a while as a reminder, I don't like it thoughtI think it is mean, and what happens if they do get the feet I would use the sticky sheets, like you put on furniture so they don't scratch
You could also try securing balloons to the tableWhen kitty's claws burst the balloon, the noise will scare the bejeebers out of himI've heard that other people have also had success with the double sided tape.
PLEASE do not consider the mothballs answer!! They are poisonous!! Buy some double-back sticky tape cheap at the hardware and put in on the tableYou could put it on sheets of plastic and then cover the tbale so you can easily remove it for diningkitties do not like their paws to be sticklyBut please remember that kitties are like small childrenThey learn through consistency and repetition and their main goal in life is for you to love them When ktty goes on table, lift her up and FIRMLY say NO and put her on the floorThen treat her cooly for a few minutes, no pettingNext time she comes up to the table but sits, you lean over and reach down and per her ON THE FLOOR, saying Good kitty and speak lovingly to herWe have two cats, 1 2 years old and they are never on the tables or countersThey will jump on a chair and look over, then jump chair to chair instead of going across the tableWhen they do this, we praise them and pet them! Of course, if you have a special needs kitty (she eats paper and kleenex?!) then be prepared for her not learning too easilyYes, cats have different degrees of intelligence, just like people and if you have a slow learner, you may just have to invest in a lot of cheap tablecloths and deal with itA bit of inconvenience is worth paying to have such devoted love from your pet!
