Cats are good students, uhm if what you teach them is for their advantage. So I showed my cats how to open doors, and after a while they jumped to open and then pushed or pulled.
During my premarital life all my cats could open doors because they had lever type handles. The exception was one sticky door that humans find difficult to open. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Um ... key-locked doors too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Now, in Japan, the doors are either sliding or with rotary knobs, and the later type is a no-go type.
Sliding doors though are very easy for cats when they are smooth and I never needed to teach them anything concerning opening and steeling. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
During dinner, if we serve fish, Mimi would sit on my wife’s chair and plead for tasting that stuff, but if we neglect her she would demonstrate some persistence by looking and sniffing at the tabletop with exaggeration until she makes us feel guilty. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
We usually laugh a lot and succumb to her majesty's wills but with great caution not to upset her health. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
