Wow! I am glad Cam is OK. All of our recycling is kept outside with a lid. The reason I emphasize lid, is that Bella would do exactly as Nicki if there was no lid. She loves to lick out cat cans (and any other can she can find) even if they have been rinsed. One day I found her racing through the yard with a beer bottle in her mouth and on another day she had a kitty litter jug in her mouth and was prancing all around with it. Then I began using the lids from the regular trash cans on our recycling cans and it has spoiled her fun.
