It's more or less classic Heinlein, but I'm not sure it has any cats in
the stories - all I remember is his preface, in which he tells how the
book got its title. 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.
