oh yes, I've a few cabinet openers, that's why every cabinet in this place has either a child-proof lock, a hair tie or a ruler blocking entry

oh my goodness, I would pay to see that

Sadie is my cupboard opener.
I was finally forced to go to my local home improvement store to have wood rods cut to size, so that she could not open my sliding sliding closet doors.


Sadie says...."Way to go Chasey."

They can get in all the cabinets in my kitchen, except the one where I keep the cleaning products. I think someone made that one especially tight, maybe to keeps kids out. Fluffy will get in the ones above the counters, and push whatever is in there out. I caught her trying to push out a stack of plates so she could lay down. I have about convinced them they should stay out, and it is too much effort for that lazy little bunch to put forth.

Oh yes!

Abby can open the draws underneath my waterbed. I'm amazed with that because they are quite heavy.

Chynna can open the cupboard under the sink so she can get into the pots cupboard to snooze. Abby on the other hand tries to open the cupboard but can't. She likes to go inside and check to see if Chynna is in there, plus I think she watches out for her big sister so that she doesn't get locked in. So that cupboard has to be open a bit all of the time, hehe

Amaudeus and Echo can open doors, cabinets as well as drawers with three of their four paws tied behind their backs.

Tiger can.. He can open the pocket doors in the house and even turn door knobs

We have to keep the front door locked or he'll turn the knob and out he goes

Yes, but she only opens the bottom cabinets. I had to install internal cabinet locks. She still tries though

Cleo used to get into the doors on the bottom of the entertainment center and push all of the CD cases out so she could lay down in there. I finally put some magnetic door latches on them, but she still hooks her paws on the handles and makes the "bump bump bump" noise with them in the middle of the night!

They do but not often. They end up locked inside because their meowmy does not check the inside of open cupboards before closing them.

Most of the time mine do, although sometimes they do have a little bit of trouble
and bella likes to usually try it with the wrong paw
I always have to tell her "Bella use ur other paw"
but Tessa is always getting into something, wat can I say everyone really is

A picture is worth a thousand words.


She can get into all of them unless they are the ones that "stick". We don't get them fixed because that where we put the things that she doesn't need to get into, like cleaning products, etc...

Stanley has just noticed that if he stands on the garbage can he can get to the cabinet with the food in it (there are child proof latches on the bottom cabs, this one is 4ft off the ground).

Luckily for me, I think he'll have a heck of a time trying to use the can opener.

Dusty can open them, but she prefers to play with them. Ours have those spring hinges, and she puts her paw underneath the door and opens it part way and lets go so it will slam shut. She just enjoys making the noise, and she usually does it during the night for entertainment, and to annoy her sleeping humans!
