       Door?  What door?

       Background--my youngest son lives upstairs and has a cat of his
       own (Mabel) who doesn't get along *at all* with Cosette (one of
       mine), and so we keep them separated (this has been going on for
       years, it's not going to change).  My son works IT at a
       community college and during the summer doesn't work on Fridays,
       so he came down to make himself something to eat this morning.
       At that time, Cosy was sleeping on top of my printer.
       Mabel starts meowing piteously (she does this every day for
       about a half hour after he leaves for work) and I let her down
       stairs.  Cosy sees her go by and I turned around after saying
       something to my son, and she was gone.  I knew immediately that
       she wanted to go upstairs (she frequently does, we call it "cat
       switching"), so I went back to the door to open it ... only to
       find that I must not have latched it thoroughly and she had let
       herself up the stairs.
       Looked up the stairs and saw her tail at the top of the stairs
       as she had just turned into the room.  If she ever masters
       doorknobs, we are all in trouble.
