Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Desire for Open Doors

Cats appear to have inherited a sense of entitlement from their ancient Egyptian ancestors. They still believe they reign supreme, considering your home as their personal territory. Every nook and cranny is their domain! Consequently, cats find closed doors intolerable.

The mere thought of being blocked from certain areas of their territory drives them to frustration. They will go to great lengths to open the door, including vigorous scratching, incessant meowing, and attempting to manipulate door handles. Since cats are social creatures, being locked out also means missing out on bonding time with their human companions.
