Years ago, when home web cams were new, there was a documentary that showed what pets get up to when the owners aren't home. The #1 first thing is to get up on all the places that they're not allowed.
They don't learn that they're not allowed certain places; they learn that they're not allowed when you're around.

I was wondering if had a son named Gon
How do you correct the cat when he goes on the table?
Firmly saying "NO", then loud clapping, and finally lifting him to the ground and bit paying attention to gim for a few moments.
After a while they react to the signs. No garantees that it works on every cat, but it works with our other cat.
You should remind your cat that his learning is making Descartes sad
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
