To keep cats from getting into things that you don’t want them to, take a plastic bag and fill it with aluminum cans, shake the bag at them and they will run from what they are about to get into.

Household tip: Buy a caddy and store aluminum foil, wax paper and other small items in it. By doing this, they will be at your fingertips. Store this caddy under the sink.

Shopping tip: Whenever you buy a new clothing item, throw out the old item or give it away, you can also do this whenever you buy other new items.
