Photo Hunt: Open

July 3, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat24 Comments

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.

Our house has an open door policy. I decided that.

Opening doors is part of my Somali cat legacy. We are very handy with our paws.

    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…. !

    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!

    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!!

    Well, Sparkle, what a fetching pose! You don’t need any darn opposable thumbs–you can rule the world without them!

    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!

    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!

    My kitties just sit and whine. They know how to open doors, I’ve seen them – lazy buggers!

    Doors today, can openers tomorrow! And then…world domination! Or is that just too much work?

    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!

    I was always wondering about the cats and the open door thing. My cat does that too–have a great Saturday.

    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

    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.

    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!

    What a great picture – caught in the act! Little brother Wart is a master door opener, too. He is also excellent at opening drawers.

    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.
