# Does it scorn also?
All the cats I have known have scorned simple human things like doors in favour of ridiculous exits such as windows, or non-human doors CUT INTO human doors.

# One of mine
refuses to use the catflap unless I wedge it open. She just doesn't like it flapping shut on her and has been known to stay outside for days if the catflap is shut while she's out.

Another of mine cost us delays and additional costs in building work because we live in a conservation area and the new double glazing took a while to be approved by the local council. But when it arrived I realised it opened the wrong way - we needed it to open from the bottom because the cat will only enter and exit the house through the open window.

# They are confusing creatures.
It's simpler with dogs. I open the door, they go out. I open it again, and shout for them to come back.

They stay out.

I try calling and waving food. They ignore.

I go all the way through the house to get my shoes, put them on, walk out into the garden, just get to the grass and without fail they will dart past me and into the house. Every time.

# I want a dog :(
Sadly our current lifestyle precludes doggy-ownage. I used to have a German Shepherd and he was completely mad. I loved him to bits despite his madness.

# Aww
I had a german shepherd when I was younger. He was born only a short while before me, so we were pretty much the same age. Except he was a dog, so 7 times my age. or something.
