Did you really think you could stop me, Karen?

1. Tee hee hee. This is why I love 'em.

So smart and resourceful.

2. This is a very smart and determined kitty.

I love them!!

[Scarsdale]

3. Me, too.

Plus, they look so innocent. As my older son said when he was a teen "Cats are cool" He was correct, they really are.

4. I like the way he pauses before egress

It's like, no hoomans or monsters or vaccuums out dere so is safe.

5. Oh, crap!

Cats have mastered the doorknob principle. Quick! Get them to sign a doorknob non-proliferation treaty! If they pass this information to dogs, human preeminence is doomed!

6. One of my three cats gets doorknobs.

If I'm in the bathroom and the doorknob rattles I know it's him, trying to get in. The other two try to get in by sticking their paws under the door and clawing the paint off.

7. ...which could also work...

Over time...

8. Pets who live in homes with accessible (lever handle) design ("UD") have it MUCH easier!

(Also, any cat owner will **know** why that cat was shut in the bathroom in the first place!)

9. Probably so the human could get this video with an automatic camera, once he/she figured out

what the cat could do.

10. Where there's a will, there's a cat.

11. Two of our five cats understand doorknobs.

That looks like a Maine Coon cat. Is he?

[VOX]

12. It's amazing to me how cats learn things just by watching.

No special training whatsoever, no commands and treat-rewards, etc.

They watch you, and eventually figure out how things work.
