If only I had thumbs...

I know how doors work, now if only I could get these beautiful but sometimes less-than-functional paws of mine to turn that knob! Then I wouldn't have to rely on the Door Opener to let me in and out and in and out and in and out as many times as I want to. Mostly she does a tolerable job, but I do tend to get some bad attitude from her sometimes. She thinks she was put on this earth to be something more than a cat servant, but I whole-heartedly disagree. She is here to open the door, keep my water bowl full, adore me and be a good source of heat when I'm cold and that's all!

Having to rely on humans for everything stinks even worse than the litterbox!

I've been doing exercises to strengthen my thumbs...and by "exercises," I mean I've basically been sleeping.

It's so funny, Musette! Looking at you is like looking in the mirror, only you have little white gloves on your hands and I have long white gloves. At least we wear gloves, huh? Most cats scratch in the litterbox BARE HANDED! Peasants...

Yes, after seeing your baby pictures, I'd be willing to admit you were probably the second-cutest kitten ever. . .

Like previously stated by someone, I think doors should have push down handles instead of knobs. Then we wouldn't have to rely on door openers.

For the record, the Door Opener and I have a relatively affectionate relationship, given that I'm not the touchy-feely type. I'm willing to snuggle her on a semi-regular basis because I do appreciate what she does for me. But I just can't let HER know that, lest I lose the upper hand.

Demand that all knobs be replaced with levers (you know, the type that are for the handicapped humans). Then by stretching your full height, you can open any door.
It still would be wise to keep your staff available for your other needs, though.

If only I could convince them of the necessity of such a modification to my domicile!

What's there to say about me? I'm GREAT. I'm a feisty feline who is in charge of everybody and everything in my world! Or I should be anyway. Sometimes those chumps try to thwart me, but I usually prevail.
