Tyran and Miki are out to make trouble. Recently they have been knocking over the small green trashcan I keep in my room, constantly. If I leave the room for five minutes and come back, they've tipped it over. They also keep tipping the water dispencer over. Its one of those dishes that has the water bottle on top and as they drink, it refills the dish. They keep knocking that over and getting water EVERYWHERE. What can I do?

They are so cute and they do look like trouble makers

You can buy a trash can with a lid, that way they cant make a big mess when they knock it over and they'll probably even get bored once they figure that out.

I use a petmate water fountain and my cats love it, plus there is no way to tip that over!

I'll have to look into getting a new water dispenser then. I'll get a trashcan with a top that way the cats don't get into it. They like to get in there and pull everything out, especially waterbottle tops.

I can never stay mad at them, especially Tyran. All she has to do is give me that sad kitty face with those big eyes and give a little kitten mew and she get all the snuggles she wants.

Tyran is going on 10 months, and Miki is going on 1 year 2 months.

Oh good, that gives me hope! My girls love to knock things over obsessively and have for a long time. Iris is the worst offender by far. Maybe they will eventually outgrow it after all. It makes us crazy! If we leave anything out on a desk or counter - pens, eyeglasses, pads of paper, anything! - it inevitably ends up on the floor.
