cats and doors

cellioI have noticed that my three cats have different reactions when facing a mostly-closed door that opens toward the cat.
Erik reaches out a paw, pulls the door open enough to go through, and walks through.
Embla does that thing that long-haired torties specialize in where all the cat volume seems to vanish, and then walks through. Or, if that doesn't work, she does as Erik does.
Baldur uses his head as a battering ram, pushing at the space between the door and the frame until the door opens more. He might or might not then walk through.
Each of these reactions perfectly fits the personality (and observed mental acuity) of the cat in question. :-)
