Dennis Exposes his Toeses

Dennis has interesting feet. Pink toes and black toes and mixed toes.


Dennis easily opens all cupboards and most doors (unless they are bolted shut.)


Dennis can open sliding glass doors if they are closed but unlocked. Dennis understands the slide concept and has all the time in the world.


Dennis moved a doorstop out of the way when he realized it was keeping him from opening a closet door. It was a heavy doorstop, but again, Dennis has time to work on these things.

Dear Dennis,
We really love your variety-pack toe-pads. Also, until now, we honestly believed that besides feeding us, a human's job was also to be dedicated door-openers for cats. We have learned something important today from you.

Purrs,
Abby & Stygia

Dennis says never give up. Doors will reveal their secrets eventually.

Just tell me this, Dennis: which part is the Satmar Hasidic genetic material - the pink or the black toe pads? Talmudic scholars could argue for either one - and certainly will. (As a matter of fact the rabbi's cat has already started a discussion thread on the topic:

Opening doors. Most impressive. My admiration grows in leaps (from fridge top to counter) and bounds (as in limitless).

Herrings to you, as usual.

Mom snorted on her coffee at 'all the time in the world'. We enjoyed that, except for the coffee that landed on Gandalf... Only I enjoyed that. -Grayson

I am not astonished at all that Dennis can open all doors with his fairy toes. He is so sweetie, isn't he quite able to open all our hearts as well ?

Daisy said...

Dennis, you are a Mancat of many talents! I know how to open bi-fold closet doors by applying leverage to the proper spot. Sometimes, I go around the house opening all the closet doors. I am not strong enough to open sliding glass doors!

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

Wow Dennis! You are purrty smart! We like you dual colored toes!

dennis said...

Daisy is right--cats who can grasp the idea of leverage and can apply simple mechanical physics to problem solve will get through doors. slide your claw up and down in the door crack and you will discover you can move the latch. claws are helpful.

Your feets are so cute Dennis and you are very talented to be able to open doors and latches!

Laurie Brandriet Keller said...

Leo ... or Lo Lo Mann, his Jamaican nick name, can muscle open those sliding glass doors too. He says howdy to Dennis and sends love from the Prairie. xoxo.

I like to feel them, like little leather grapes. And I mean it in a nice way, not a weird salad fingers way.
