Well, TK's been an indoor cat for 6 months now and in that time he's "cracked"
the secret
of opening the cabinet doors by putting a paw around the knob and pulling.
Then he
moved on to the sliding closet doors and learned to get a paw under the door
and rock
it 'till it slides open. Yesterday I watched him sitting at his dish picking
up one
"crunchie" at a time with one paw and putting it in his mouth. I wondered what
he
though he was doing and now I think he was trying to improve his coordination.
Today
I caught him on the kitchen counter, both paws on the doorknob (the door to
outside),
rocking the doorknob back and forth in a twisting motion. Uh - Oh.
It's time to start locking the dead bolt.

Heh.heh. That's a smart cookie you got there.

Really. Espy figured out that he has to stand on the stove and put his
paws on the doorknob (door from the kitchen to the backyard) but he
has not figured out that he has to turn it.

Whenever I have to lock Otto in my bedroom, he jumps on the dresser and
rattles the door knob. I don't think he'll ever get out, because you have
to give the knob a good hard turn to get it to open. He is excellent at
opening drawers. He can get into the nightstands by the bed, the drawer in
my desk and the dresser drawers. There are two small drawers in the dresser
that are covered by a little door. He opens the door, pulls out the drawers
and removes the contents (underwear). Many times I've walked in and found a
nice pile of underwear on the floor.

Cheeky systematically opens all the lower kitchen cabinet doors
every morning as I get her food ready. It's like a ritual. She opens half
of them and I say "do you really have to do that every morning?" then she
looks at me and opens the other half.

LOL! My Mickey does that to the bedroom door when it's shut. He can also open
the sliding kitchen doors too. Clever kitties!
