Open, because cat
I feel exposed if it's swung all the way open though. I just leave it ajar for the kitty.
Closed, because cat
Shrödinger was really on to something
Likewise, if my door was closed the kitties would scratch from the outside and make a nuisance of themselves.
Gotta train them that doing that doesn't get them the outcome they want. I make it a policy with my cats that if they wake me up, they get yeeted to the basement.
When they were new, that meant picking them up and carrying them to the laundry room and closing the door. It evolved to me simply carrying them to the top of the stairs and setting them on the top step, and now all I have to do is open the door when they scratch or yowl and they scatter. It took a while, but now they only bother me at night when there's another cat in the yard and they want to get to my window to look out.
