Clever Cat Develops Uncanny Ability to Open Doors

A very clever cat named Mulder has developed the uncanny ability to open doors with such finesse that he didn’t spill even a drop of water when his human Kristian Svenson, put a homemade hazard (a container filled with water) directly in front of the door he was opening. According to Kristian, this talent came about quite unexpectedly.

The first clip is from January. Mulder was 5 months old. I was cooking and I needed him to stop jumping on the counter for a couple minutes, so I tossed him into the bathroom and closed the door. Seconds later, he was out. I grabbed my camera, started rolling, and tossed him back in. This was something he had never done previously.?
