My NORMAL HOUSECAT IN REAL LIFE will not only push open a door that is ajar (rather easy), but with the proper handle she can OPEN a latched door by jumping from a perch, using her front paws to "grab" the handle and then let her momentem carry her into the door enough to jar the latch open. She then simply drops to the floor and pushes open the door.ALSO, she has CLOSED DOORS! One day when I had the house open and it was rather windy outside, a door blew closed in the room I (and the cat) were in. This intrigued her and she began to push the door from opposite sides back and forth until finally she got the door to close and the latch actually caught! Now, she did lock herself in the room however, which she was not happy about. She tried her door opening trick a few times before she realized it would not work. Since then, she has never closed a door to the point the latch caught, but she WILL push it closed to the point where it is barely ajar.Apparently my cat likes her privacy!So, based on a real life factual rebuttal, I'd say a magical and intelligent cat familiar could open and close any door, provided it had sufficient strength to move it. They are after all, thick mediaval doors of solid wood (usually ok or pine). Of couse the latch could make the difference on that ruling, but all in all, I'd say it could happen. It is a fantasy game after all!</blockquote>
