“Gotta say, boss, you’ve got some really cool stuff. Like this door — knob, I think you call it? Man, you work this thing like a pro, I could watch you all day. Sa-a-ay, think you could give me a little demonstration right now?”

Kitty has a look of desperation in his eyes.
Tummy looks snorglable.
Itās the belleh spots. I love spots.
Huh huh, wadda ya say buddy??? Kitty has that look of I’m going over the wall. Time to let the warden know about a potential jail break.
I’ve notices that the photo as been blurred next to the tail, I guess he is a BIG BOY.
Hahaha! I sure get this from one of mine, along with the pointed head-jut at the door.
Iād be more worried if the cat learns to use a key to unlock the deadbolt.
Stars and Stripes (but really Stripes) once managed to open my bedroom door one morning while I was drying my hair. I heard one of them jumping at the knob (the lever type), and then I looked up and Stripes was disappearing under the dresser while Stars sat in the middle of the floor looking like she wasn’t sure how she got there.
They only did it the once. Just to let me know they could, I’m sure.
I had to go to the garage early this morning (before I had even fed Theo all of his breakfast) and that little goofball darted right out by me and *scampered* around the garage in excessive bunny glee! (The car wasnāt in there) Took several tries with a banana to get him back in, the dweeb!
I may be seeing this wrong, but I see 2 doors. The inside door is an ordinary swinging door. The outside door might/should be a screen or storm door, but that’s not what it looks like. It looks like a SLIDING glass door. Look at the hardware. It’s even slightly open. Is that normal in some other part of the world? Nowhere I’ve ever lived would it be usual to have a sliding door and a swinging door in the same opening.
I live in America and have a sliding door and a swinging door, tho I think itās unusual. On the inside it just looks like both doors open out to a patio, but really only the right one does. It opens inward and then you slide the screen door open. It is somewhat safer than having a regular sliding door only.
Thanks for the reply. It’s interesting. I also live in the U.S. — I should have specified that. Sounds like you have French doors except only one of them operates, with a sliding screen door. That’s not something I’ve seen, but I can understand it. The second (inactive) door gives the screen door room to slide out of the way of the active door. The screen enables you to leave the swinging door open for ventilation or to listen to the birds sing. Maybe that’s what this is — though if it was a (pretend) pair of doors, I’d expect the hinges to be at the sides and the knob to be in the middle; this knob is at the side. Also, the outside door looks like glass to me, but maybe it’s screen and I can’t tell. If it IS glass, it’s merely a really elaborate way to get double-glazing.
This is the first time I’ve used “Notify me of follow-up comments by email.” It didn’t work. Fortunately, I checked for replies anyway.
I enlarged the photo and you can just see the grids of the screen. It is weird that it opens on the right, but it looks like the cat is standing on part of a fireplace surround, so maybe the door couldnāt be opened on the left?
I checked on-line and it seems they have a left-hand in-swing door placed on the right side. The sliding doors can go from either side, so itās unusual, but not undo-able.
For the ānotify of follow upā you have to go to your email and confirm that you do want to do that.
I couldn’t figure out how you enlarged it until I realized there’s a link to its original location on Reddit where the photo is much bigger. I see the screen now too. And the door already has double glazing — I see the spacer between the panes. If they want to have a doorstop, then, yes, it can’t be hinged on the right (the face of the raised stone hearth — if that’s what I’m seeing — would be a terrible place for a stop). I can’t figure out how you checked online about the door swings, unless you mean you checked, like, Home Depot or Lowes for French door configurations. Thanks for indulging my obsessive nerdiness about building details.
I just put in āpatio doorā and then looked at Home Depot and they had the different designations to check.
And on my tablet I can enlarge a photo by doing the āpinch and spreadā method to elarge.
Glad I helped!š
I see what you found on Home Depot — most doors have the knobs at the middle where the doors meet, but some do have the knob at the side, sure enough. Thanks. And FWIW, this week’s Weekend Open Thread Photo #3 looks like the configuration you have — except yours may not come with a kitten halfway up the screen.
Ha! Actually that WAS my foster kitty and is my patio!š
That certainly explains the resemblance. I did consider that it might not be a coincidence, but the “Holly H.” name threw me off!
