Michael,

That's a good idea.

Now, I did have a roommate whose cat _could_ open doors. It was a lot
of fun to watch. He would put his paws on either side of the doorknob,
pads in, and basically knead until the door opened. It only worked on
easy to turn interior doors. Alas, this was circa 1997, so I don't
have any video of it.
