If you know anything about cats, you probably know that one thing we really hate is when a door is shut. Well, I don’t take shut doors lying down. I’ll open them right up.
Opening doors is part of my Somali cat legacy. We are very handy with our paws.

See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
Wow what a smart cat you are. The best we can do is have Heesh lay against the door and pray that it pops open.
WOAH!! Now that takes skill!! Do you scoop your food in your paw? I do that.
What a great picture – caught in the act! Little brother Wart is a master door opener, too. He is also excellent at opening drawers.
Haha great shot! I love that look on your face Sparkle!
Smarty Cat… will you please teach us how to do that? And yes, you are absolutely right, no door, no cupboard, no drawer, no closet… should ever be closed!
WE are quite good at opening doors too including all the cabinet doors. It is just so much fun.Hope you have a super week end Sparkle.
You’re very talented! All I can do is meow and meow and meow…..you get the picture? But it would be way cool to open the door myself.
Aw, very cute take for the theme!!! I love the little paw reaching in!

I am pretty good (for a dog) at this trick as well. I was raised by cats and they taught me everything I know.
Your pal, Pip
I was always wondering about the cats and the open door thing. My cat does that too–have a great Saturday.
Nice “open” post. We didn’t know about the Somali cat paw thing, interesting! We tend to flip over on our backs and put our paws under the doors to open them. Happy weekend!
Doors today, can openers tomorrow! And then…world domination! Or is that just too much work?
Hahaha ! that’s a typical cat picture ! Doors are never closed in our house, with our 4 cats, we would spend our time as door opener !
I certainly miss my cat and her antics. Great capture!
Tsk. You look like a peeping Tom. 🙂
My kitties just sit and whine. They know how to open doors, I’ve seen them – lazy buggers!
That is so true around here. As soon as my daughter closes her bedroom door, the cats come and want in. A few minutes after they get in, they want out again. Repeat. It’s just too funny!
We don’t like closed doors around here so we always open them up! If we can’t, we make enough noise that one of the beans will come open it for us. Never know what good things are behind that closed door!
Well, Sparkle, what a fetching pose! You don’t need any darn opposable thumbs–you can rule the world without them!
I would give my cat keys.
We don’t like closed doors either – in fact it is now a house rule that mum has to abide by or she gets a smackie paw!!
What a great shot! Yes, I can see that those paws/claws are very dexterious…now I ‘m wondering just how much trouble you’re capable of getting into Miss Sparkle!
Livvy does the SAME THING. She’d be more handy with her paws if they weren’t so packed with extra toes. But she still manages to get the doors open…. !
i hates it when my mommeh closes a door too. and if i can not open it myself, i scream and SCREAM until she does.
