Thread: Help - turning the taps on!

Hi, hopefully someone has some good suggestions! We've just had a new kitchen sink and taps (the lever kind) and our 2 naughty torties just won't leave them alone!

Shadow's the worst - she's deliberately turning them on (full most times) so she can watch the water. I don't really want to shut them out of the kitchen if I don't have to as one of their litter trays is in there plus Sunshine especially likes gazing out of the window all day (and cries if you remove him!).

I've searched for child-proofing things and can only find covers for bathroom taps, and a band for cross head taps - but nothing suitable really.

We can switch the taps off under the sink - and have had to resort to this while we're out (as we'll either end up with scaulded cats or a flood) but I'd like to find another solution if possible.

Any ideas? And why are torties so naughty....?! Sunshine our red boy isn't half as bad!
Thanks!
