I have really enjoyed reading these stories, and thank you everyone for sharing. I also ended up putting safety catches on all my kitchen cupboards and drawers because, many years ago, my Artful Dodger used to pull them open and other cats would get in (and Loki would pee in them!)

Well, Chatanuga, I had an incident last night which was very like yours. Zazesh sleeps on the bed all day and I have a long chest pushed against the bed, at the same level, where he has extra food and drink. Of course, he's very disabled so it's hard for him to turn himself into a position where he can get to the bowls once he's sunk himself into the cozy covers, but it's worked out so far. However, I got home last night to find he'd pulled the heavy bowl of water over into the bed from the chest and had soaked comforter, blankets, throws, everything. It took about hours to do laundry, clean up the mess, dry out the comforter, etc.
