When I lived in a communal home, I kept doors closed when I was naked (which included sleeping hours).
My wife and cat don’t care about when I’m naked. Also cat wants unlimited access.
My stepdaughter has a cat that figured out doorknobs.
Yeah, seems universal, cats have open door policies 💯
my cat will meow and bang on the door all night, just to jump on my bed, look at me, then cry for me to open the door again so he can leave
Are we sure it wasn’t the bogeyman or monsters that wrote this article. What’s next? We shouldn’t cover our limbs with the blanket?
I met a dude who makes this product on Imgur https://flexlatch.com and I REALLY love it. I can’t recommend it enough to cat owners.
Lol when my kids were little we had cats, and I wanted to make sure they had options to get in and out of some rooms to get a break from the kids. I made something similar with 2 small eye hooks and a 4" double ended brass snap.
Kinda defeats the object of closing your bedroom door to prevent fire/smoke spreading but I can definitely see how useful it’d be if you had dogs and cats. Or flatmates. Or family members you don’t particularly want to be naked in front of after your cat walks in and inevitably leaves the door wide open. Can you easily remove it from the outside of the room, or do you need to be inside the room to attach and remove it?
I put a cat flap in my bedroom door for this reason, my cat figured out the door handle, but doesn’t close it behind him.
That’s because he needs an answer to the eternal question of: do I want inside the room, our outside the room? He can’t figure it out, so the door staying open is the most convenient
So I decided to Google this and mostly found that keeping your bedroom door closed increases your chance to survive a fire. So, hmm.

Yeah that’s what I always heard. Closed doors reduces the amount of smoke that would get into the room before somebody wakes (hopefully due to properly installed smoke detectors)
The popsci articles have become self-aware and they resent us for bringing them into existence. They want to see us all burn.
Besides, sleeping with air circulating inside the whole house compared to only the room feels way better for sleep quality, at least for me. I have quite a large room, but if I ever close the door for 2 hours at most, I feel the air stagnate.
well then you may have ignored or misinterpreted the comment you responded to, because he pointed out that sleeping with your bdrm door open increases your risk of dying in a nighttime house fire.
Ah, true, I misunderstood which point was being supported in the above comment. Bed time commenting kinda does that. Thanks for correction.
