I wonder if it's not better to NOT let the lid come off completely but
leave it attached & when the can i s empty, push the lid closed again,
in such a way that the lid is held down under the brim o f the can.

off and not just bent back. When I was working I found a little stray
who was trying to lick a can clean and got his head stuck. You have
no idea how hard it is to get a panicked stray/feral's head out of a
can. I still don't know what the cat looked like. Once he was freed
he put a cheetah to shame with his speedy escape.

compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise
with their fellow man.

Subject: Plastic bags
While on this subject, don't forget to cut through the handles of all
plastic & actually ANY bags before trashing them. Stray cats can get
their heads caught in the handles & strangle. So please please cut
those loops!
For the same reason, cut through the loops of the plastic things
holding 6 paks together. Those things have been found around the
necks of seals, cutting off their ability to swallow, thus starving
them. Closer to inland home, small aniimals can get their heads
caught in those too, or stray kittens which as they grow these things
will tighten around their necks.
