Our cats have figured out doorknobs.

They can't always manage to clamp their paws onto them the right way, but they know what doorknobs are for, and will rattle them until they either get the door open, or you get sick of the noise and open it for them.

I'm not letting them near my car keys.

nod, nod. My cats used to open doors, too! They are so clever! But why do they only open the doors you don't want them to open? Is it a tingling "cat sense"? A third cat eye? A bid for our attention?
Probably all of the above.

Cats are just perverse forces of nature. Long before they worked out the doorknob thing, they'd settled into a routine of napping inside the kitchen/bathroom cabinets. Luckily, the wombatcave's previous owners had childproofed a lot of the cabinets, which also keeps the catzen from opening them, but it's still disconcerting when I go to retrieve a large skillet from storage and find somekitty napping inside it.
