A trick to keep cats off of things like stoves is to put one, small drop of eucalyptus oil on the item. They hate the smell. We won't smell the one or two drops after a few minutes, but the cat will smell it for a long, long time.
Just to be safe (in case your cat thinks it's a koala bear) is to put the drop where they can't lick it. As far as I know, both are harmful to cats if swallowed.
Tea Tree Oil is also said to repel cats. (Also potentially harmful if ingested, so use with caution.)
I put one, small drop of tea tree or eucalyptus in the trash can to keep flies out and to repel pesky raccoons. I put either on cloth flags around tomato plants to stop the squirrels.

PS: Bonus- A drop of eucalyptus under our (not the cat's) nostrils and on the temples will empty sinuses very quickly.
Tea Tree oil is good for a whole host of uses. I use it on cuts.
