And you wonder why I've always considered them an embodiment of evil.

A hint - http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Helper-Door-Safety-Cover/dp/B000MF518O  Pay for the next-day delivery.  It might just save your life.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

 :facepalm:  I could have told you what was going to happen when I saw that two-position cat perch right next to the door!  Cat's aren't any kind of "embodiment of evil"  ;/  they're generally smart critters -- smarter than most people give them credit for.  
My cat very well KNOWS how a doorknob works -- she just can't reach it.  And I don't put chairs or cat perches next to my doors.  
Becuz I iz smarter than mi kat.  ;)

    Charlie: What's the point of entry, here?
    Dee: That's the thing, Charlie. I'm looking all around this goddamn place. I can't find one.
    Charlie: Alright, I've seen this before. You know what happen? I bet it flattened itself out, and went right through a seam in your wall.
    Dee: I don't think there's anything in the laws of nature that would support that.
    Charlie: Cats do not abide by the laws of nature.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Kids had a cat with polydactyl paws. The thing could pick up a dime off a hard wood floor.

Three of those things are food.  One of them also can be made into mittens or slippers.

How would one go about making a spider into mittens or slippers?
That's the only one I wouldn't eat in a pinch =D

One of my cats is well over 20 lbs, very long, and can open doors. We have lever type knobs.  Even worse, I showed him how to do it, because I was getting tired of him whining to get in and out. Now he comes and goes at will. Startles the hell out of me still...especially when I'm home alone and he barges in the bathroom.

Just another thing to blame on the Americans with Disabilities act.

Along with velociraptors being able to get into the kitchen...
