My mother gave me a can opener for Christmas because she remembered me asking if we had one. I had to explain I only asked because the key on my brother-in-laws spam broke and he asked me to open it.
A few years back we had a local teen feed our cat when we were out of town. She did not know what a manual can opener, like Fleshies, looked like. So, even tho’ the can opener was in a drawer and easily visible, she would drive back to her house to use the electric can opener. You can’t make stuff like this up.
I watched a docu-drama about an apocalyptic (electromagnetic pulse) event hitting modern day America and the apartment dwellers in NYC only had electric can openers and no means to open their canned goods!
Maybe Fleshy couldn’t figure out the mysteries of the can-opener, but he sure could smash things up! Monty, you need to teach you cat to fend for himself (i.e., to use a can-opener, regardless of possible collateral damage)….

To a kitty, can opener = rocket science.

I can feel for the cat. I’ve gone from electric to manual to a screwdriver on a can before. Not to mention the weapons used on plastic packages

Sylvester the cat (WB cartoons) was once trapped at home with lots of canned fish(?) but no available can opener.

Even the drum solo from “Inna Gadda Da Vida” couldn’t open the darn thing. Time to call the jackhammer service!

Forget the canned stuff, Fleshy. Just get out the Instapot and throw a roast in.

And this is the cat smart enough to strap himself to a drone and chase after birds? BTW, I love the Fleshy gags! Always crack me up.

I have ALWAYS hated that particular can opener. Hurts my fingers! I have one of those you mount to the wall and use a crank to turn it.
