Hmm...about the eating thing. Have you tried putting her food bowl on a stack of something? A stack that is thinner than the circumference of the lampshade? She could reach it then, although she may well knock the bowl off the top of the stack - that's no problem though is it?
Aww...they are a worry. I remember my last cat was meant to be kept in when her back leg was all bandaged up after being attacked by a dog, and I had the top window open an inch. I didn't think she could jump with plaster on her leg, but she fucking did, and got out too
