Talking about escape artists . . . my dogs were just out in the yard, ran up onto the deck, opened the deck door and waltzed in (they didn't shut the door behind them).
The older one has learned to turn the lever handle on the deck door. These handicap-accessible doors are also dog-accessible!
I used to have a Siamese who could not only open ordinary doorknobs, but UNLOCK them as well (the kind with the round hole in the middle - he'd just stick in a claw and pop the lock.)
I know; but he is only 3 years old and has some more chances and he did get to go. I am waiting to hear where he placed in the group show.
It’s almost scary when you have ones that figure these things out. That cat is unbelievable. What a smart baby. I have seen them pull the door open; but never unlock it. LOL
