But, you probably won't be able to open the door. Binx loves to sleep in front of the door,totally destroying the nicely placed rug, making it impossible to open the door from the outside. While I can get him to move, I just can't get the door to go over four inches of rug...strange, isn't it? (Those of you that haven't seen his mouth in awhile...yeah, his gums are going crazy still).
