Bryton is a cat who can and will open quite tricky cupboard doors just in order to be able to wander around in the dark spaces. She's got rotten eyesight, but seems to have very clever paws and a classically feline (i.e., at least 50% unwelcome but highly recognizable) intelligence. She's also a cat with no inhibitions about space; she will bolt through any open door into anything beyond at any opportunity.
Given this, it continues to baffle me that she will stand indefinitely next to a room door that has been left ajar for her, rather than pulling it an inch and a half further open and exiting when she clearly desperately wants to. She doesn't meow. She doesn't come and find the inhabitant of the room and demand to know what this failure to anticipate her needs is all about. She just stands next to the door looking worried. When you approach, she gives a little anxious prp? noise and quivers to attention, waiting for the door to be opened an inch and a half wider so that she can flee the purgatory in question.

Drives me nuts.
