I Taught Lucius How to Open Doors

Not miracles of course. I set up our door opener experience. Martius was on 1 side with me. I shut the door almost. Lucius wanted in to be with us. He pushed and fit his little head sideways, but this looked like a lot of work and potential damage to his little frame.

I went outside, left Martius in, and shut the door again. This time, I let Lucius try. He began the same technique. I stopped him. I showed him to push just on the door, not to push through the door. He watched with intensity.

I figured he needs to know. This could be a useful skill if he needed to get a door open. We are doing another practice session soon. A young girl I met thought this would be good for if there was a fire. I agree.'

Update: Lucius is opening doors very efficiently these days. He has it all figured out. He goes into meerkat position. Then, he pushes with 2 paws. He make his CatMom proud. He has full control. He even opened the door to the deck. The latch was not fully shut today. He exhibits both technique and power. It is not a light door.
