u/wertperch A lot of IT is just not being stupid. Dec 19 '19

I did once successfully train cats not to go into the kitchen. They'd not even venture in if their food bowls were on the floor out of reach. They knew they'd be fed in the hallway.

No you didn't. You trained cats to not let you see them in the kitchen

I have a very easy method to train your cats not to go in the kitchen, in comparison to any other alternative; build a wall blocking every way in. Whether it's something you can climb is negotiable.

If I can climb it a cat can. If water can get it my cat can find a way. Sir Puffypaws Hudini would be an excellent burglar if cat treats were diamonds or whatever.
