argh Fancy Feast cans can be hard to open.....

[Grasswire2]

Maybe because I have a badly sprained hand and wrist.

But they are the fave of my Kit Kat.

And I have a large stock on hand.

But is there a similar wet cat food that isn't so hard to open?
Maybe a moist kibble?

1. Can you have a friend pre open a few for you. Keep them in the fridge maybe?

If they got you started maybe you could swing it?

2. Our new kitchen tool is a pair

of wide mouth pliers. Does wonders opening a lot of things like Fancy Feast cat food in tubs.

3. I use the handle of a fork or spoon as leverage under the pull tab

of the Fancy Feast cans. Easier to open and prevents broken thumb and finger nails.

5. I do that with the handle of a wooden spoon

But it still requires pulling, pulling hard with one hand while holding the can with another, firmly

6. The handles of my wooden spoons are round

and too thick to slide under the pull tab. That's why I use a dinner fork or spoon. They slide under the tab easily. Then just hold the can with one hand and pull up the fork or spoon with the other. It loosens the lid enough that I can grab the lift tab with my hand and pull it off. Or, use pliers to pull it off.

4. +1 on using a tool!

7. I got my friend a jar opener with a ring pull

She said the ring pull was really helpful on the small cans of cat food. Maybe a screwdriver would do the trick.

Hope your wrist and hand are better soon

8. Did you know?

Is there a can opener for pull-top cans? It looks like a large beak. You stick the sharp part under the pull-top and pull on the handle, making most of these cans easy to open.
