Might , I say Might, keep my 3 Savannah Cats from turning on the faucet..........for a few hours!
They figure out cabinet locks, baby locks on drawers, turn on light switches, faucets, open doors, etc. with ease. This might slow them down for a bit, but only if they did not see me work it!
If they watch me, they then know how to do it. Thank God they don't have opposable thumbs, or I / we would be toast!

Mine will open kitchen cabinets, drawers, pantry, bedroom doors, etc. and in the dresser drawers, hop up there and sleep in them. They also pull the big drawers under my king sized bed open, crawl back in there and sleep.
Savanah cats are big cats, the smallest of my three weighs 24 pounds, the largest 30, none of them are fat.
Dad was an African Serval, mom of one was a Bengal, of the other two, a coal black Burmese. Big cats, very strong, very intelligent, but with personalities like a dog, very protective of me.
African Servals run about 40-50 pounds in captivity, the father of my three was huge at 60 pounds, the brother of one of mine was a 50 pounder, sadly he only made it to 6 years old before kidney failure got him. That's rare, as hybrids usually live longer and have fewer of the usual cat illnesses. Savanahs often live to be 20-25.
My oldest is now 11 and still acts like a kitten.
Chloe the pure bred Serval on YouTube is 20 and still going strong.
I had a pet mountain lion as a kid (grew up on a cattle ranch, he was found as a week-old kitten when his mom was shot by a poacher on our ranch), he grew up to weigh 216 pounds in his prime and lived to be 37.5 years old. Sure do miss him, he was a great cat, more like a dog in many ways, very protective of my family, and when I grew up and married, he was my late wife's guard cat whenever I was deployed.
