Cat detectives? was Why did book fragments win...

He once had a cat who, when the weather was bad, would insist upon his opening every door leading outside (there were seven of them) hoping to find one that didn't let him out into a rainy California winter - the door into summer, in fact. The protagonist of the novel had the cat. The novel is classic Heinlein. Years ago I had an indoor/outdoor cat, Whitey. One rainy day Whitey was sitting under the carport waiting for the rain to let up so he could take care of business without getting wet. After a while he couldn't sit there any longer and with a yowl of protest against the weather he squared his shoulders and marched out to do what a cat had to do. |

It was called "Doorway Into Summer", IIRC. I recall the preface as well; I hope I got the title right. ~~~~~~~~ Life without cats would be only marginally worth living.
