When
we're at work the bedroom door is closed to keep them cat proof. LOL.
You and Sisu both commented on displaying and pets. This is also one of my problems--I have not got one room in the house that I can close the door from the pets, well, not yet. The one room I have is a lovely SUNNY room on the ground floor. I love this room because it overlooks a pond. The room makes an excellent office because it's so bright, but a lousy room for doll display. Unfortunately, the downstairs was never designed to have separate rooms--typical of the "family room" design of most downstairs.
While I can't imagine why a cat would need to get up on a shelf with a bunch of dolls--they don't bother with shelves with lots of books--my cats seem to have the uncanny knack for taking up residence precisely where I don't want them--on my dolls. My one cat likes to scratch his chin with Barbie hands and him and another cat like to rub their chins on doll hands and feet. I wish I could figure out a way to install acrylic front doors on bookcases, but I hate to think of the expense in getting such large sheets made, the durability and whether they'd warp.
If I keep regaling you all with my deboxing problems, please bear with me--I need a lot of hand-holding to get this next level of doll collecting: enjoyment. Take care, Pat
