Oh my cat isn’t smart by any means, she just makes a lot of noise when she wants to get into a room but can’t because of the door. Once she realised that jumping at the door handle makes a hell of a noise (old doors with heavy metal handles), she would do that until someone would open the door or the door would open by itself but she never gets that it’s her own accomplishment.

My newspaper comment is only there because I thought you didn’t have a cat. What I meant to say is cats like papery stuff, if they have the choice between an overpriced cat bed and a papery newspaper, it’s gonna be the latter. But you probably know that.
