Who says animals can't think and solve problems. Also, a lesson in persistance...

6. I had two Siamese cats who slept with me until I was about six months pregnant and

could no longer endure their extra weight at night, so they got put out of the bedrroom. They used to try, ever so hard, to turn the door knob to open the door. It was only the lack of opposible thumbs that kept them getting it opened.

I now have several cats who have figured out how to open the sliding screen door at the back of the house. When that fails, they simply tear a hole in the screen with their trusty little paw claws and jump through. Sigh. I have to replace the screening again!
