Ah yes, the defiant cat.A Certain Orange Cat has taken to hanging out in this cabinet under the kitchen sink.

Seanette had me install magnetic latches on this and other cabinets to keep him out. It worked for a while, but he has since gained enough strength to open the cabinet in spite of these latches.
We've taken to putting heavy objects to block the cabinet closed, but he's grown strong enough to move these objects.
I guess, if we're determined to keep him out, I'll have to install a different sort of latch that locks in a positive way, requiring a mechanism to be operated in order to open it. But who's to say that Buddy isn't clever enough that he'd figure out how to work that mechanism?
Perhaps what we really need to do is to change what is arranged how inside this cabinet. Along with a bunch of things that we fear could be hazardous to a cat, there is a pile of dish towels that Buddy apparently finds a very comfortable place to rest. He likes that, as a nesting place, so much that it drives his strength and determination to get at it in spite of Seanette's and my efforts to keep him out of that cabinet. Maybe we just need to put the dish towels elsewhere, and arrange the contest of that cabinet so that it doesn't provide any place that Buddy will find so comfortable.
