Our blind old cat has for years entertained us with his ability to open cabinet doors. He stands on his hind legs and uses his front paws to open them. He’s also pretty good at opening my closet doors even the one with the heavy mirror on it. While building the porch, we joked about putting a little door knob on the screen door so he could get on and off the porch.
This morning is the first day of the basement waterproofing and, to prevent the cats from going downstairs, we closed the door to the basement. The door to the basement is a bi-fold french door. Generally speaking you have to firmly press on the door to get it to open. We’ve always had luck with keeping cats or small children out of the basement with this door. Until today.
That darn cat figured out how to open the door. I’m sure once the jack hammer starts up down there he’ll go into hiding, but this morning he was insistent about going downstairs.
