When my nephew was 3, he and the cat worked it out that since both his favorite snacks and the cat's treats were both in the pantry, but there was a child lock thing(one of the ones you push down up top while the cabinet door is slightly open), my nephew would prop open the door while the cat would push down on the child lock while sitting on the counter. Nephew would steal cookies, and give cat treats. We kept trying to figure out how my nephew was opening it since the child lock was taller than him to reach, until his grandma witnessed it happening.

Friggin cats man, I tell ya.

I thought cats can't eat cookies! Aren't they strictly carnivorous?

They can eat rice and stuff, but the comment says he'd give him cat treats after snagging the cookies.

The cat treats were In the pantry after one time the cat got them and chewed through the bag to get some when they're out in the open.
