I know Crittermom was having issues with her kitties knocking the trash can over and now my cat brat gang is doing it too. I figured something out.
Put a brick in the bottom of the trash can.. Not IN the BAG! Under it.. It works

Not even ginormous Tiger (exceeding 20lbs) can tip it now!

Movin' on up!
I have a small swing-top wastebasket in the bathroom and Rowdy has learned how to remove the top and fish out ONLY the t.p. cores. Buddy will go after the kitchen trash, if there are chicken bones in there so, I now take them outside, right away.

Mine do not tip it.They get on the edge of it and lean into it to get food.

I have my trash under the sink and I finally had to put magnet locks on the doors cuz the cats were getting in. Duke always is up for getting what he considers "treats" any food that he get on his own is a treat.
