so is this your first cat OR dog (or dishwasher) then?

I've had cats and dogs most of my life but this is the first time I've had cats who are fascinated by the dishwasher. lol

i've always had smallish/medium sized dogs. who have always tried to climb into the dishwasher. stand IN the dishwasher, lick the plates, etc

LOL I've always had lab sized or larger dogs who definitely lick plates but not usually while they're in the dishwasher. usually while they're on the table.
