This way, they can't be opened unless the rubberband is removed.

I applied the rubberband method to my bathroom cabinet doors, which is where I keep the hazardous stuff: it worked - for awhile. Geronimo & Maverick weren't deterred: they just kept pulling on the door till the rubberband got stretched out, and they could squeeze their way in. So then I used one of those stretchy hair bands that you use for ponytails, b/c I figured they were stronger and they wouldn't be able to stretch them out as easily as a rubberband. WRONG!! They just worked at it longer, till they pulled those out of shape, too.

BRATS!!

Maverick is especially fond of going into the cupboards (for privacy, I suppose), and God forbid if he can't have one to call his own. So I just gave up, and let him have his own under the kitchen sink, where I removed all the dangerous stuff. He's a happy camper, now..

SPOILED BRAT!!

The baby latches have kept my cabinet creepers out of the bottom ones, but the top ones... (don't worry, the med bottles are all childproof capped

)








I still haven't figured out how she got in the top of the pantry shelf (the one she was on that time is at least 6 ft off the floor-lol).

wow!

this whole thread has me laughing... i can't BELIEVE how smart y'alls cats are! i always thought murphy was smart but i guess not! lol... he doesn't know how to open cabinets nor is he remotely interested.

But why worry about being thought smart when you are as beautiful as he is? Just stay out of the dark cabinets- be out in the light where your public can adore and spoil you!

He's gorgous! Is his nose pink? Cute!

Hopefully you don't join the "toilet paper shredders" group as well.

Or the "Kleenex tissue shredders" group too.

I just found this thread and I'm now a member of the cabinet kitty group....

Last week I found one cabinet ajar and just thought it was a fluke. Well last night when I got home from work, 5/6 kitchen cabinets were open (with my stash of plastic bags all over the kitchen..) and 1/3 in my bathroom! So I closed them all and went to sleep. Well this morning...I found 2 open in the kitchen and one on top of my fridge!
