PSA: my neighbor's cat got stuck in my rain barrel in Seattle last Tuesday

I heard the meowing at 6 AM and had to carefully tip the whole thing over to get him out, which was a mess. Anyone have a better way to secure these things from curious animals?

I mean, "carefully tip the whole thing over" sounds like the start of a cartoon. Hope the cat at least said thank you before shaking off all that water on your porch. Maybe just put a lid on it, a heavy one, before the raccoons decide it's their new swimming pool.

Is it really that big of a deal though? It's just a tipped over water bowl, not a home invasion.

Wait, what if the cat's trying to tell you it's thirsty?
