Charlotte Walker@TheHardyBoyCats @Colin Wow, he has proper thumbs!
mirabilos@purplepadma @TheHardyBoyCats @Colin sadly not usually opposable enough to operate can openers πΉ (at least according to other polydactyl cats we know)
Colin@mirabilos @purplepadma @TheHardyBoyCats can he close doors? I left the back door open because I can open it, but not close it behind me. This made the people cross for some reason, even though they had shut me outside for decades. My excuse is a lack of thumbs.
@TheHardyBoyCats @Colin @purplepadma your people need to add a cat flap; the people here are currently doing so to several doors
@mirabilos @Colin @purplepadma My cats are so bad at doors that they probably couldn't work a cat flap either π
Honestly, I've never had cats who had so much trouble with doors before!

@purplepadma @Colin @TheHardyBoyCats Δaraπββ¬ took some getting used to them and she still pushes them open with the paw before running through, but she manages ;)
@mirabilos @purplepadma @Colin Frankie does that too! He looks like an angry little cowboy entering a saloon πΉ
@TheHardyBoyCats @mirabilos @purplepadma I'm too scared and Eric is too dim to manage a catflap. There is an open window we can get through, but I refuse. Eric goes through the window, but hasn't worked out he has to go through another door to the rest of the house, so he goes back out the window and screams at the back door (for access to the same room). π
@purplepadma @TheHardyBoyCats @mirabilos it would have been great if we had got a video of the humans teaching him window entry skills. It took weeks to master the window, but he never understood the door. I managed to figure out the window/door myself and will use in an absolute emergency only.
He also does not realise that the front door is also a portal to the inside. If it's open, he'll look in, then run around the back to scream at the locked back door.
