Cat-proofing a home is not easy. I'm not talking about cat-proofing a home for the safety of the cat, e.g. as one baby-proofs by covering electrical outlets with those funky plastic things. I'm talking about cat-proofing a home to protect a home from cats ... the kind of cats that can open absolutely anything.
Cats that open dresser drawers in the middle of the night. Cats that pry open bathroom cabinets with a clever twist of a polydactyl paw. Or cats that can somehow slide open a heavy closet door.
And before you know it, every pair of unmentionables has been slept on by a fat tabby, every sock has been snuggled by a sassy snowshoe, and a lint brush has become a fashion accessory.
How do you cat-proof a home? You can put latches on every cupboard and locks on every door. Or you can adopt dumb cats. Or you can just accept the fact that life as you once knew it is over. There are worse things in the world finding than a happy cat in your underwear drawer.
Like not finding a happy cat in your underwear drawer.
