So I decided to Google this and mostly found that keeping your bedroom door closed increases your chance to survive a fire. So, hmm.

10 Mind-Blowing Tricks That Big Fire Doesn’t Want You to Know

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)

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.

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

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?

If I don’t leave the door open for the cat she destroys the carpet trying to get in. So while it’s a risk, it’s a somewhat calculated one.

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
