A dog would never do this
As the owner of a dog that might have dimentia, I can tell you with absolute certainty that a dog would, in fact, do this.
We have a dog that, for lack of better terms, has some weird separation and general anxiety. Shit head locks himself in the bathroom, gets scared, and proceeds to try and eat his way out.
Such a good picture. The gap under the door must be huge though for a phone to pass through.
If at all possible, don’t put drawers and doors in places were they can block each other like this. If space is limited and there was no other choice, so be it, but otherwise it’s the owner’s fault.
Man these kitties are adorable!
The angle looks like they must have taken the photo from the outside of the bathroom door, under a gap beneath the door. Took me a minute to figure out how they could get that angle with their phone under the door.
I think the phone is laying flat on the ground, looking up. That grill you see is in the ceiling.
If space is limited and there was no other choice
I think there’s always a choice to just not have drawers there. Like, literally just choose to have the door sweep clear. Even if you moved into that house, you can even just remove the drawer completely.
This problem is the reason why standard small bathroom layout puts the sink immediately next to the door, as the cabinet beneath has a swing door that can be pushed aside.
This is likely a landlord/flipper/homeowner special, where they don’t know or care about good practice, and got a good deal on the wrong cabinet.
Had this same thing happen to me in a very small apartment. Not everyone has an option to remodel or choose an apartment big enough for this not to be an issue. Sometimes you’re just stuck with a shitty design.
Yeah, that’s what pedestal sinks are for.
And potentially not have storage in the bathroom?
I have a bathroom so small the door has to open outward into the hallway. If I can deal with it, so can you.
Same, I call it my Secret Poop Closet
So the cats were in the bathroom, with no one else inside, with the door closed? Cats are flexible sure but I’ve never seen one get under a door jamb.
The cats might have pushed the door shut?
Little bugger
If a cat can fit their head into it, they can get into it.
Cats are liquid and stealthy. I used to close the door on mine all the time. Wouldn’t know it until about an hour later, and they were howling.
In my experience, sometimes cats will get in places you don’t want them to be, denying them the exit makes them want it. Close the door for a little bit, then when you open it, they come shooting out. No muss, no fuss, no one gets clawed trying to usher anyone from behind the toilet or between the shower curtains.
