The main reasons why cats often sit in front of a closed door with a dissatisfied look have become known.
Closed doors are a physical barrier for cats and a source of stress and anxiety.
Cats perceive a door as a permanent loss of access to familiar things.
Veterinarians emphasize that cats are so eager to get into a room that they have not often entered before.
They are attracted not by the premises themselves, but by the possibility of unhindered entry.
Experts note that closed doors limit a cat's freedom of movement, control over territory and familiar surroundings.
A cat that encounters a closed door will often begin to scratch it or try to stick its paw through the crack.
An instinctive reaction causes cats to perceive the door as a threat.
