But I calmly replied "Now what?"
Answer: Stella was on the dryer - which is by the back door - and had both paws on the knob trying to open the door [this is the door we go out of for her walkies]. She had obviously observed us turning the door knob to open the door - and was doing her darndest to copy us.

Nikita is able to open doors. She jumps up, hooks one front leg over the part of the door handle that sticks out of the door. With her other front paw she pulls the handle down whilst swinging her back legs against the door post to open the door.
Before she was allowed downstairs in the store we rotated the door handle counter clockwise so it was sticking up, that made it harder for her to open the door at the top of the stairs. I put a catflap in my bedroom door because, although she can open doors, she never mastered closing them and when my heater is on all the warmth escapes.
She occasionally opens my sisters door when she is alone and wants to get out but it isn't as flexible as she once was and makes a lot of noise, when we hear her attempts we usually open the door for her.
