D.Va managed, at some point last night, to lock herself into the spare bathroom. It's one of those jack-and-jill bathrooms with two doors, but we've got a clothes-drying rack installed behind one of the doors, so it was shut at the time. When playing, and, probably, rubbing her head on the door as cats do, she managed to shut the other door on herself.

We discovered this after we got up, when myrialux headed out to the kitchen to feed the cats, and she heard waking-up noises and started yowling.

sighs and adds "doorstops" to the grocery list

edit: We do wonder: if we were gone for a few days and she locked herself into a room, would Sora eventually go open the door to see what was up?

I have a loop of yarn running between a hook in the bathroom and the knob, to keep the door open, because certain cats (currently lying on my feet purring), will close the door and then make much noise rattling it at 3am.

(This is made more complicated by the fact Astra doesn't meow, she is my largely silent cat of doom, so it's only the door wriggling you get, not other noises.)

Haha!

I witnessed D.Va lock herself into my office some time ago--there was a big stretched canvas behind the door and she was playing with something and knocked the canvas over, which fell, shutting the door. And in that case, if I hadn't been home to hear the ruckus not even Sora opening it would have worked because the canvas blocked the door!

In a previous house we had sliding doors on the master closet, hung from the top and free at the bottom, which meant they were easy to push in, but not easy to push out. I woke up at 3AM to a cat mournfully going "Meow!" bang! "Meow!" bang! Not sure which one, because both our cats at the time were grey and black and were invisible in the night, as it rushed out of the room. We kept the doors open enough for cats to get out, after that.
