Is this a smart of desperate cat? Or both?
My niece has door handles like that at her house and her Labrador Retriever has figured out how to get out a few times! luckily she lives in a quite neighborhood with little chance of her dog getting hit by a car. Still … it’s not good when pets get out unexpectedly is it?
Do you have a pet that’s figured out how to get out of the house through a door or window or perhaps out of it’s cage or crate?
This picture is so cute — I think what’s so amazing is the fact that the length of the cat fits the distance from the floor to the know. Too cute!
He’s trying to get to the musical mice at the top of the page.
My cat sometimes does just the same thing. But from the outside. Once i did find my lunch.
This is what you literally call “stretching yourself.” Lol.
I had a dog I called the ‘Door Dog’, he knew how to
get in. We’d close the shoddy back door which had
just a latch, he’d lie on his back, put his paws through
the space at the bottom of the door, and bang his paws
back and forth quickly to make the latch jump out of the
hook, open the door, come in and make himself at home.
One of my cats jumps up to pull the handle down, and holds onto it for a second while it starts to swing open. Crazy!
I have a 10 year old gray cat named Bud & years ago he figured out that the doorknob was key to getting out. I lived in an apartment then & his 2nd favorite spot to lounge was in the window on the landing of the stairs. One evening I was watching TV & he began pawing at the doorknob. I ignored him until he let out a LOUD meow while holding the knob in both paws so I opened the door & let him out. A couple of hours later he was ready to come back inside In all of the years since, he hasn’t forgotten this!
Whatever it is it has figured out the basics of opening a door. Big trouble for the owners.
