Katie is such a smart little girl
Katie is one of my sibling pair (along with her brother, Jack, AKA
"Trouble"). I still refer to them as kittens, because they won't be fully grown until next month (2 years old), and because they still act like kittens. I think I will always think of them as my kittens. Anyway, I digress. Along with lots of other things falling apart around here, our bedroom door stopped being able to latch. My solution was to string a bungee cord from the hall closet doorknob to the bedroom door. The cats couldn't get in on their own, and we could still get in and out just fine. Well, Katie is a born leader and too smart for her own good. She figured out that if she jumped up against the door, she could push it open. And she figured out that it closed at some point, so she had to time it just right to get into the "Cool Room", aka the bedroom. So one day I'm in the bedroom, hear Katie doing her door-push thing, and thinking she'll never do it because she'd have to time it so perfectly so she doesn't get squished in the door. Next thing I know, I look down on the floor, and there is Kate! Never had a cat be able to open doors at will before. Ginger-lyn |

I've noticed here that the ground seems to rise and fall with the water table. MLB |
