I have a dust pan, like for sweeping, that I keep by the bed, I stick maxi pads to the flat part and use it to catch the barfs. Much easier than moving the horking cat.
Small amounts of butter is perfectly fine to leave at room temperature...but only if it's salted. Unsalted butter will grow mold quickly, but salt will inhibit mold growth for quite a while. Unfortunately exposure to light and oxygen will cause it to turn rancid after 2 days, but it's technically still edible.
Yeah, so? A lot of people here do that, you don't have to spread hard butter on soft bread. It doesn't go bad because usually it's eaten quickly and covered with a glass lid or something
Ours will jump onto the counter, and you can hear her because her back legs hit the cabinet door on her way up.
She knows she's being bad too, because I'd hear her jump, go pick her off the counter, and set her somewhere else. Now, I'll go to get her and she'll be sitting on the floor like "What? I wasn't doing anything!"
My butter dish has a lid that animals shouldn't be able to open. Though I have my doubts it would hold up to a dog or a bear if they really wanted some butter.
