I've tried all the above. Each gets them down, but they seem to sneak back up. They know it's wrong 'cause they jump when they see me coming and I've been as consistent as possible. If I see it, I'm squirting, making noise, etc.

Cardboard/paperboard pieces sprayed with Craftbond spray adhesive will also keep cats off of larger surfaces you don't want to line with tape. They'll jump up there once, get sticky, hate it, and not go back for seconds. Couple this with your other reinforcement tactics, and you should see an improvement.

That sounds like something that might work. Haven't heard of that or tried it yet. I will be picking up some of that tape tomorrow.

I have about a half-dozen open boxes here in the "office". The cats are forever chewing and pulling on the tape. I find pieces of it throughout the house.
Thank you all for the input. The tacky tape does sound promising. Both kitties are prissier than any cat I've had before. If that doesn't do it, I may have to go for the scat mat.
