life with cats, bag of hammers edition

[truepenny]

TRUEPENNY, having taken a hot bath (The high today was like twelve. Fahrenheit.), is putting her clothes on. The bathroom door--which opens into the room--is shut to keep the heat in, but not latched. TRUEPENNY and MIRRORTHAW have both learned not to latch the door while taking baths, as both CATZILLA and the SECOND NINJA take exception to being unable to get the door open, and that's hard on the woodwork.

Somebody scrabbles at the bathroom door.

TRUEPENNY pulls on her shirt.

The door does not open, and the scrabbling continues.

TRUEPENNY opens the door and discovers CATZILLA in the hallway, poised in front of the door over by the hinges.

CATZILLA: Dude! About time!

CATZILLA sashays into the bathroom.

TRUEPENNY cracks up.

CATZILLA: Dude, what? You made the magic work. What's so funny?

Some cats are smart enough to figure out doors, as heresluck and I both know. This cat is not one of them.

My best friend's younger cat must make sure you're safe from the horrors of the Water Room, although she hasn't gone so far as damaging the door yet. One time I was over, and went to use the guest bathroom. Closed the door, did not realize it hadn't latched. About ten minutes later, *thump* *pop* *door swings open, tuxedo kitty stares at me* "KIRIN!"

Off topic and not really my business question

Is someone involved named Kirin, it sounds like? I ask because it's my mom's name, and I've never met anyone else with the name.
