Rubber Bands and Cat Collars

The cabinet under the kitchen sink has two doors. For some reason, my cat Ruffles dislikes having the left one shut. Just the left one. Every time I go to the kitchen, it is open. Sometimes all the way, sometimes just a little, but it is always open. I shut it and the next time I go, it's open again. I put a rubber band across the handles to keep her from doing this, but it finally broke.

Well, Thursday I got a rubber band around my mail, so I put it across the handles. I could hear her out there trying to get it open. It kept banging. I was laughing to myself at how frustrated she must be, but she was persistent.

When I went to bed, both Ruffles and Coco got on the bed with me. Coco gets on my left side and Ruffles gets on my right side, so I pet both of them at the same time. I realized that Ruffles didn't have her collar on.

Friday morning, I went looking for it. It was hanging from the bottom of that cabinet door. It was caught inside the cabinet and was hanging out. She must have tried putting her head inside to get the door open. I put the collar back on her and I took the rubber band off. I'm afraid she could hurt herself or get her head caught in there if I leave it on there. Strangely, the door hasn't been open at all today.
