Any one have any good ideas for at the very least preventing the toppling of the trash? The can stays under the sink. The under-sink cabinet doors stay fastened shut with a rubberband across the handles. (We usually only have to resort to this if there's something particularly smelly in there.) -Alison in OH |

Dennis Carr dumped this in
news Any one have any good ideas for at the very least preventing the toppling of the trash? I have to rinse empty tuna cans in the sink before throwing them in the trash or else I'm sure the trash would be raided. Other than that, they aren't curious about the trash at all. My sister used to have a cat who would raid the trash whenever she opened a pack of cigarettes to retrieve the cellophane wrapper. -- Cheryl |

My cats don't get into the trash. However, we used to have a Labrador
Retriever who was a trash fiend and would eat herself sick on the garbage. One evening, when I was pregnant and in the throes of morning sickness (which wouldn't confine itself to morning!), I came home from work to find that the dog had gotten into the trash and then threw up. I retreated to the bedroom, where I stayed locked in until my then-husband got home, at which point I informed him he'd better clean up the mess his d*** dog had made. Through the closed door, I heard him admonishing the Lab "Look what you did - now I have to yell at you or she'll yell at me!" |

"Laura R." . Mine don't get into the trash. Honestly. . -- Mine didn't either until last night when I saw this thread and thought about mentioning it. Last night and tonight for the first time Buddha went for some empty food containers while I was in earshot. I huffed and I puffed so she'll probably do it again. |

I don't leave anything dangerous to cats outside the enclosed rubbish bin.
If Rho wants to drink dirty water from bowls in the sink then that isn't going to hurt him, even if it is a bit strange that he doesn't want the clean water in the cat area... "Dennis Carr" wrote in message news Here's a problem I have that I'm certain is universal - cats in the kitchen trash can. Maybe it's the occasional empty tin of tuna I put in there, maybe it's curiousity, but I find that my girls like to get into the trash can - or worse, topple it. Mind you, our trash can largely contains dry materials (the vast majority of garbage goes down the sink into the disposer, while things that can't go down there are simply removed to the dumpsters), so it's largely non-hazardous and not *terribly* messy - but I'd rather the cats stay out.
