MEXobiologist Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 keep getting into the kitchen garbage we switched from an open style can to a cheap flip lid style trash. they figure out that if they step on the pedal, the top opens, so one jumps up while the other stands on it. seriously, i watched them from around the corner. so we detached the lid and just put it on top. nope. they somehow figured out how to scoot the back away from the wall and knock it off from behind. the good news is that they seem to only really be interested in the raw bones or strangely enough, when there is beans in there.... so far thats it. how should i stop them from digging in the trash when no one is around to stop them? do you think they would figure out a trash that is motion sensor? or do i switch up what gets taken directly out to the street trash?

MEXobiologist Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 thought about it but there isn't much space for one under the sink and no one will agree to a smaller sized trash like that. the people here are just as difficult as the animals v.v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 just put the garbage with your regular stuff. then they'll just be like "oh that's regular stuff don't care". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 or maybe one of those older style wood ones where the lid sets into the top. That's prolly the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a pretty good solution for meow. Hopefully they don't figure it out, they're too damn smart. One figured out how to turn on the bathroom faucet to get to the running water. Lol.

MEXobiologist Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I like your cats. I do too but they are still just 5 1/2 months old, I dunno what else they are gonna outsmart us on > The vet warned us that the breeds of these two are on the smarter end of house cats and that I should continue looking into training the maine coon especially.

Best thing to do is put something heavy in the lid after a while they will loose interest or seperatly throw away what they look for Very very smart. The tuxedo style cat is very inquisitive. For a while she was trying to figure out where the water was going when it went down the bathroom sink. She kept smelling the drain and then looking underneath the bowl, its a pedestal style. Now her obsession is door knobs and light switches. The lamp switches seem to frustrate her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
