*Counter Kitty*

Today was the first day that I have been able to catch Pyrrha on the counter and throw water on her.  My mother has done this with our other cats but I have never had to do it.  It was awful!  I told her to get off the counter and she just sat there looking at me, so I went and filled up a cup with about two inches of water and tossed it on her.  She took off so fast and hid behind the table.  I have never felt so bad about disciplining my cats.  Her face looked so hurt and she will not come by me now.  She observes me from a distance and is ready to run if I move too quickly or get a cup.  I had to go to my room for something and when I came out, she fluffed up because I scared her.  I then left to bring my mother lunch at work and when I got back home she was on the kitchen table!  I yelled at her and she just looked at me so I went and got a glass and she took off and backed herself into a corner.  I did not toss water on her this time because she seems to be getting the point that she is going to get soaked if she keeps this up.  I also did not have the heart to because her face looked so hurt.  I really hope she stops this soon because I feel terrible doing this, but it is a necessary evil.
