Good morning!!

loud as a freakin' table saw! They put a good electric motor in those. I never replaced it. I don't eat much out of cans, and most have pull tops these days anyway.

Just died recently. Got a $6 manual one from Amazon that works fine.
Our cats don’t like wet food although I’m always trying new kinds because the vet said it’s better for them (especially Charlie who weighs 19 lbs.) I keep the dry food in Tupperware and the second they hear the container opening they’re in the kitchen.

It had to be replaced this year. In the past, I used it to call the cat. If she heard the sound of the can opener, she came running from whatever dimension cats hide in when they do not want to be found.

my folks had one while I was growing up, and the cats always came running every time they heard it and were so obnoxious when the can wasn't for them. Then, one year, my mom got an electric can opener in an office Christmas exchange. (?) Anyway, it made a different sound, so she began using that for human food and kept the old one for cat food. They never reacted to the new one because there was no payoff, lol.

he dialed 811 with those big paws!

So who was the culprit who unplugged the can opener? Sounds like me when I used to travel a lot and encountered airport and other bathrooms with automatic faucets that came on when you put your hands under them. I would do the same with my home faucets for a couple of days and wonder why they weren’t working!

Kbar, bowie, even a screwdriver.....

Don't ask me how I know....... it was either the can or suicide.

Can openers is just one example.
Another is paper towel dispensers and hand dryers.

I'm sure we can think of more.
