      Actually, Cats, can, and will, open doors, for their own benefit, and should be able to "hold" (at least the bigger cats) the lantern in their mouths... i wish they will release a ln WildShape DLC, where you can keep the wildshape, and some merchants will hqve speak with animals, and use animals and an information and dellivery network, and yes, that includes cats.

After a few weeks we solved it: the door handle was very high up so Dad had tied a rope to the handle so the youngest kids could open it by themselves. Then our cat figured out how to use and let themselves in or out when no humans were around that she could "ask".

    This is an incredible video. It doesn't have the fanciest editing or the most bombastic concept ever, but the script is consistently funny throughout, and little touches like «study session» really warmed my heart. Honestly, never expected that kinda content to entertain me that much. Hats off.

    I don't know what it is, but these kind of insane challenge videos fill me with such anger. I can only comprehend it to when you watch someone play a videogame for the first time and see them walk into a wall for 30 seconds stragitht. You're like "just turn right". Or in this you're like "just turn back to normal and press the button!"
    Like I know fully that that's the point of this video but it's still maddening.

When I had a major health drop, he'd stay with me for a couple of hours every morning. A truly precious little friend. :) Even the first one had such moments, though they were fewer as we were mostly fine. :) (With that said, I truly enjoyed this! ^^ )
