If so, what’s your best idea on how to prevent this? Most of their food comes in packets, and any time my cat gains ANY access to them, they’re ripped up and eaten. Even the containers with lids like this get chomped into, and she literally managed to unscrew this one and eat half of it before I caught her. I try to keep them in a drawer but I’m quite forgetful unfortunately, maybe once every 3-4 weeks I’ll forget to put them away and then I have to buy more food. I have a community tank so it’s even worse since I have 3 different types of food lol. My next option is one of those “pill planner” things but knowing her, she’ll manage to get it open! I’ve even considered the glass jars that weed comes in or prescription bottles, since they’re pretty much completely childproof, but I’m too scared to reuse one even after cleaning it for fear of somehow poisoning my fish.
Advice is definitely welcome, but I also just wanted to share this ridiculous picture and see if anyone else deals with this 🤣

EDIT- I just realized how low my tank looks lol, I was mid water change when I took this pic
my cat also goes insane for fish food!! i picked up a couple of these [favor jars](https://www.amazon.com/Kate-Aspen-Mini-Glass-Favor/dp/B00B2F7YQA/ref=asc_df_B00B2F7YQA/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693768586781&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11395903519290184523&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016060&hvtargid=pla-392649341208&psc=1&mcid=2350233234e93447a193771b6c23d6ac&gad_source=1) at goodwill and its totally fixed the problem, the lids screw on so she can’t pry them open and theyre too heavy for her to push around! highly recommend!
I put it up high in the closet where she doesn’t jump up. I have a cat too
I had a cat who loved fish food and was capable of opening whatever drawer it was in. I ended up getting a little snap and seal style Tupperware to keep it in.
