The Mighty Hunter kitties killed the cat-food bag

gravity do the rest. The tin was heavy enough that it fell on the floor,

LOL! What a good boy! You should nickname him Newton.

They might be able to pop open the cover on top of the lid, but as I
discovered last night, the cat food is too big to come out of the opening.
It's Iams kitten food, and the kibble is shaped like little Xs. I thought,
"Let me see if I can pour the cat food from the pitcher", and exactly one
piece came out of the opening before the food had a traffic jam.

But fortunately, the lid actually screws onto the pitcher, so as long as
it's closed properly, they're unlikely to get the lid off the pitcher. And
even if they pop the top of the lid open, not much cat food will spill
out.

I do want a real canister, though. It's hard to measure the cat food
properly when pouring it out of the pitcher (sans lid). (The food comes
out too fast, and then it's a pain to put the extra food back in.) We'll
just have to make sure that the canister we buy has a lid that kitty teeth
can't easily pry off. Because this pair believes in teamwork -- if any
felines could figure out how to get something open, my money's on these
guys.

Donna, not telling Captain and Stanley that the items IN the toolbox the
cat food sits on could probably help them get the pitcher open ;o)

Our winner was Sarrasine who as a kitten not only worked out how to
open the bag but how to dip in and lift out biscuits and then for a
finale, she realised that if she licked her paw before dipping it in,
more biscuit stuck to her paw!

She ate about half the bag before we caught her in the act! That was
the day we realised we had a criminal genius kitty
