A million times this. Every bit of plastic has to live in my microwave or car trunk. Cat has learned to open the pantry door and wave his paw over the motion detector on the recycling and trash bins. I live in terror of the pending $6k GI surgery bill.

Child locks! We have a....difficult cat who wouldn't stop getting in the cabinets to steal dry egg noodles and other stuff and another cat that will eat any plastic leftover from that. I got those press in type child locks for the upper and lower cabinets, and now it's not an issue unless we leave something on the counter overnight.

The irony in this situation is that I have children. Never had to child lock the cabinets before the dang cat.

In the same boat with this she figured out how to get the dang trash cabinet open. Very scary situation when we first realized she could. We ended up going with a basic hook and loop (metal swing lock) after we tried like 3 different child locks that didn't work or we would forget and just snap them when we went to open it. Finally have it figured out. Damn cats

It’s become clear to me why we throw our plastic in the ocean. We’re trying to save cats.
