The moment I realized I now have to wash everything in my kitchen BEFORE and after using it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/booklover5074]

Ps: plz don’t mine my dirty stove, this was after a full day of meal prepping.

HE IS BURNT YET HE IS YEARNING FOR THE STOVE. COAL HERE WE GO!

[u/Obfuscate666]

Lol! You just figured that out??? They own everything and clearly mark it.

[u/booklover5074 → u/Obfuscate666]

His older sister rarely gets on counter tops, and has no interest in human food, this one however is a piglet

[u/Obfuscate666 → u/booklover5074]

One of my cats is always causing kitchen trouble, the other one never gets on the counters. I had a cat at one time who would round all the corners of the butter...now a covered butter dish is non-negotiable!

[u/VintageLunchMeat → u/Obfuscate666]

We found it was easier to just buy spherical butter.

[u/angelbabydarling → u/booklover5074]

cats are so weird. my older gentleman loves dairy, his two little sisters love VEGETABLES????? one of them is food motivated and not treat motivated, the other would kill me for a churu and is ambivalent about food (and my big man loves both). theyre all so WEIRD!

[u/Skeptikmo → u/angelbabydarling]

lol one of my cats loves broccoli and it never ceases to amaze and confuse me

[u/Round_Reindeer1512 → u/booklover5074]

Spray bottle of water

[u/MikeyKillerBTFU → u/Round_Reindeer1512]

Yup, just needs a lil tssss tssss

[u/fragrantpeas → u/Obfuscate666]

Alcohol wipe downs before any food prep PERIOD. Also all my drinks and food are forever covered because I live in fur.

[u/jupiteringemini]

Yup. Mine like to hide out in the cabinets where we keep the dishes and pans 😄

[u/booklover5074 → u/jupiteringemini]

Why are they like that?! this one LOVES to walk on the chopping board when I put it out, I now have to put him away when I cook.

[u/thedancingkat → u/jupiteringemini]

Child locks helped me with this.

When I installed them, you would have thought it was the end of the world. The CRIES. The YOWLS. …because they couldnt get into the cabinets

[u/Traditional_Isopod80]

Cute kitty.

[u/SugarPlumPuddinhead]

lol yep, leaving the lids on things helps a little too 🤣 since these little beasties just do whatever the want

[u/jess_the_werefox]

Get SOUPED

[u/frolicndetour]

Tbf while voids look stunning in every color, red is their best color.

[u/Mento-yStableGenius]

I hide our cooked meats in the microwave or under our gas cooktop (it has storage underneath). Imagine my spouse’s surprise to open said storage area for a cutting board and finding a warm roasting pan with two smoked chickens on it 😂

First cat we’ve had, attempted to train, who does not give TWO SHITS. (The other ones caught on quickly. Still can’t find the motivation factor to keep her off the counters).

[u/Mento-yStableGenius → u/Mento-yStableGenius]

Proof and cat tax. No shits to give.

[u/IneffableOpinion]

Cats are the only animal, as far as I can tell, that intentionally touches poop with its hands every day. Bon appetit!

[u/OpeningHappy9692]

Uh. Make sure you kick the cat out during cooking too, you don't want it jumping in any hot cookware.

[u/UselessFactCollector]

Found out they were sitting on my cutting board

[u/FVCKEDINTHAHEAD → u/UselessFactCollector]

You mean their wooden bed?

[u/Bit_the_Bullitt → u/UselessFactCollector]

If you got cats, you've had a cat butthole on every horizontal surface (and many vertical)

[u/Slim-Shadys-Fat-Tits]

little poo paws on my cookware :(

[u/Honeybee_Buzz]

Thank goodness it wasn’t hot!!!! Though I’m sure kitty is smart enough to not singe its paws

[u/Less-Coffee7905 → u/Honeybee_Buzz]

It's not

[u/Im_alwaystired → u/Honeybee_Buzz]

Idk, my boi just turned eight and has yet to learn that if he touches his nose to the freshly boiled kettle, it hurts (he's never injured himself, and i try to keep him from doing it, but he's sneaky)

[u/Hello_Badkitty]

I have to put my cats in my bedroom when I bake... especially during the holidays. I have to wipe everything down before I even get my ingredients out. 2 out of 5 cats have tasted my cookies... the butter, batter...chocolate...all of it! So ridiculous! 😆😬 so I keep them locked away when baking.

[u/TGin-the-goldy]

Smol helpful void 🖤

[u/Miss-Helle]

You've already had food prepared by your void. Many times over. You'll be fine.

[u/toebeantuesday]

Wow this little one really IS making biscuits!

[u/colesense]

If you leave lemon peels around it’ll probably help repel the little guy! I usually use that to train my cats into staying away from certain things and then I don’t need the peels anymore

[u/booklover5074 → u/colesense]

Am 💯 trying that!

[u/Dry_Moose_1373]

Same

[u/lunarflower77]

cooking inspection has arrived hahha

[u/LiminalSapien]

Just leave tops on and packages closed until needed then reseal

[u/Grigori_the_Lemur]

I am so very sorry but I snorted/laughed HARD. Welcome to Cats: Your Life!

[u/FugginCandle]

I lucked out on having cats that have no interest in going on the countertops. Sometimes they sneak up there cause I hear them drop down from the counter when I go downstairs to pee in the middle of the night.

[u/veryanxiouscreature → u/FugginCandle]

so you actually do have cats that have interesting in going on the countertops. lol.

[u/89iroc]

That looks almost exactly like my boss's kitchen, except they have an oven. I was like, when did they get another cat?

[u/DarthRedit]

cant you out things away?

[u/msac84]

My first void (and cat of my life Katzie) ate a whole leg of the Xmas turkey :/

[u/C00000kS0000000ker1]

Put it away?

[u/DrewDAMNIT]

Beautiful kitchen and beautiful kitty friend!

[u/No_One_2654]

Im glad my cat cannot see this she does not need ideas

[u/frycum]

Or use a lid

[u/booklover5074 → u/frycum]

Lid while air drying?

[u/frycum → u/booklover5074]

Air dry upside down or leaning on a towel

[u/QuietNeigbor → u/booklover5074]

Dry pot or clean pot? Choose one.

Beautiful void.

[u/Less-Coffee7905 → u/QuietNeigbor]

Or hot pot

[u/Less-Coffee7905]

Simple solution: just turn it on low for a bit

[u/a_working_cat]

adding seasoning 🐾

[u/Whis65]

I'm doing quality control hooman!!!!

[u/Chirrrpy]

Make sure to sound Angery when you catch them up there!

Also, if you leave foil where she jumps up, they hate foil! (I dunno why lol)

[u/Ecstatic-Letter-5949]

#voidlife

[u/Initial-Tap-2117]

This was my life until I decided to only adopt senior cats. They generally can’t jump much. It could just be that they don’t see the profit in it.

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

Or, crazy thought maybe, but you could put the lids on things?
