Thank you Mark. It sounds like loops work for you. The question I have
is, if I put sticky tape -- either loops or flat -- on the counter and
table top, how can I use the counter myself? If the sticky tape is all
over it.

It doesn't have to be all over it, it just has to be where it'll get in
the cat's way, especially where the cat will want to jump to but can't
see it from below.
