Still, one can use the wads to clean up around the stove and replace with new ones, so they do double duty-- small comfort if you are green conscious, but guilty-conscience paper-towel user like moi. (You could always use rags for same purpose--or purchase proper child-proofing apparatus.) The burner knobs were turned on by dint of my mad katters jumping onto the stove, I figure--a dangling foot, a slip? I'm actually glad I have such things as tea pots on my burners, and promptly purchased metal burner covers lest worse happened to the kitties.mariananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162714840282890495.post-40957407297539643532010-12-12T09:41:23.159-05:002010-12-12T09:41:23.159-05:00Now I'm nervous about the burner knobs!

I once had cats who pried open the fridge door until I connected three belts together to keep it shut.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343358780878886726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162714840282890495.post-23222865074187205472010-12-03T17:37:28.429-05:002010-12-03T17:37:28.429-05:00BTW, my marauders are all over the stove, too, so ...BTW, my marauders are all over the stove, too, so I've wound paper towels around the knobs so the kitties can't turn on the burners anymore (very nearly a crisis!). I suppose I should actually get "real" childproofing items. Now, if I could only teach them to make me a cuppa on demand! Especially since they seem quite able to get into the tea cabinet and appear to like tea (dry) themselves. Now I really can't afford to bring back any tea from across the pond! Between that cabinet's doors, I've lately wedged a kitchen appliance pamplet, which seems to deter my mad katters from holding their own tea parties.Mariananoreply@blogger.com
