Exit wanted

Now, you should as far as possible try to impose human properties on animals. That is my true conviction. You should always avoid putting human voices to animals, but sometimes I feel it can be excuseable to say a cat is e.g. cute or smart. Especially when it comes to Cute Cat of course, but sometimes also others. Today, I have excused myself, and am now ok with referring to Cute Cat as being smart. He was trying to learn the art of opening my front door just before we temporarily moved to another house for 2 months. As we moved back on saturday, I haven't until today seen him trying to do it.

This morning though, I woke up by the sound of my door opening. Confused, and rather impropriately undressed for a public stairwell, I wrapped myself in my cover and ran down to the main front door, and forced him back inside. I never lock my door, but now I guess I just have to. If I don't want a horny Cute Cat to run outside freely and disrupt the neighbourhood peace. But just look at the picture (when he tried another time after being forced back inside), he just stretches up, grabs hold of the handle, and pulls it down. I have not deliberately taught him this, and I have to say there is at least some intelligence involved in knowing what is behind a door, how to pull the handle, lean on the door, and run outside afterwards. I will excuse him for waking me up in such a sudden way, since it was such a smart thing to do.
