If He Had Opposable Thumbs, There’d Be Real Trouble
My cat, Riley, has figured out how to open the kitchen cabinets. He curls his paw around the side of the cabinet door, flicks it open just a little bit, then sticks his nose in so that it won’t close again. From there, getting it open all the way is pretty simple.
This is a bad thing, because kitchen cabinets are where people store dangerous stuff like household cleaning chemicals and drain openers. Tomorrow, I’ll be shopping for some of those child-proofing gizmos that new parents get for their kitchens.
And to think I never wanted kids.
