Now I feel like some godlike being of cat-proofing. The only time something ever happened in over 15 years of cat coexistence was when family was nagging and couldn’t wait for me to finish putting away all the groceries. It resulted in a bag of flours being destroyed and spread around the kitchen. I made sure to have the nagging one clean this up because they were the one insisting I can just leave it on the counter for 5min (that ended up being 30min).

I’m kinda wondering why you don’t catproof an urn if you have one at home and don’t want the cat to do anything to it. If there’s a cat and something is not cat-proofed you really only have yourself to blame, it’s like an invitation to the average cat.
