Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008CJ and the cabinets - round three
Round one was when he managed to get from the bathroom cabinets into the closet where I store the cat food - child proofing the cabinets solved that problem but was hard on me. Round two was when he got into the cabinet over the clothes dryer - I put turn bar locks on that row. Round three. Yesterday, he was trying to get into the cabinet over the dish washer - this is serious since that's where I store the clean dishes. I decided to just do all the upper kitchen cabinets at once: same basic thing as in round two, just a little nicer construction. That's all tha cabinets in the house that I care about now - he can get into some lower ones that are used for dead storage, but that's all. Three battles, but I think I finally won the war. We'll have to see.  SignatureT.E.D.

We'll have to see. BWAHAHAHAHAHA right, and I have some farm land that is up for sale as well. Just drain it and kick the gators out, and you'll do just fine. Pam S. totally wierded out by a news report of a possible cobra snake sighting in one of the housing areas outside town. > Round one was when he managed to get from the bathroom cabinets into > the closet where I store the cat food - child proofing the cabinets [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Three battles, but I think I finally won the war. We'll have to see. Too funny. Chloe opens the bathroom cabinets, so I should really use your child-proofing method because I store my bathroom cleaners in there. Pua is more fascinated by the lower kitchen cabinets; particularly under the sink, again, where I store my kitchen cleaners. Tyrone stands back and closely watches, but doesn't touch. kili > Too funny.

If you have normal, fairly modern cabinets, the child-proofing latches sold in many places that cater to families with children should work well. Unless you are motion restricted (as I am) they should be easy enough to install. SignatureT.E.D.

I am motion restricted too, but I should be able to manage, I think. It's just a latch, right? Press down and the cabinet opens? Hubby can install them, all I have to do is work them. :~) kili > I've got 30 year old compressed wood cabinets covered in a vinyl "wood" > finish. I think it would still work.

I wouldn't expect a problem with the pressboard. If there is, drill out the screw holes and fill them with wood filler, then reinstall the screws. SignatureT.E.D.
