What a handsome lad! And, as others have observed, lucky, too. Cat heaven awaits, young fellow... prepare yourself for a glorious life.
W/r/t inquisitive felines and countertop wanderings: the best ways to keep cats from going where one does not wish them to go (not that THEY give a rat's rear end!) is to make it unpleasant to the touch -- aluminum foil (texture and weird sound), plastic wrap (texture) and, worst of all, double-sided tape. "Sticky Paws," available in pet stores for ~ $10/package, is nothing more than overpriced wide strips of double-sided tape. Major advantage of these tactics is that they work when no-one is home :-}. Squirt bottles only work when you're there to use 'em.
Mazel tov to you, cattitude, and Julian -- may you enjoy many years of warm companionship, great food, and serious purring.
