Locked in the bathroom

Not a good day...for Whiff. I've been putting her in the front bathroom at night so she and the other cats don't accidentally meet up when I'm not there to supervise. I tried to let her out this morning and I couldn't open the door. Somehow Whiff managed to open the drawer directly next to the door which now only allowed the door to open a whopping 1/8". It was just enough of an opening to slide a knife through. I was beside myself thinking the only way in other than destroying my beautiful wallpaper would be to knock a hole in the entryway wall through two layers of drywall and the backing of the cabinet and hoping the hole was in the right spot. Riley....still bird hunting finally called at about 10:30 and my neighbor who was trying to help and I told him the very sad story. He gave us a couple of ideas so off to Home Depot we went. Our first plan did not work. Then it was off to Lowe's for a piece of bent rebar to slide under the door and up. We hoped to be able to slide it into the drawer and push it shut. Still no luck but Whiff's hero came to the rescue. Riley got home and managed to do what we had been trying to do for about four long hours while listening to Whiff yowl and cry. It was a very happy ending to a very trying ordeal. She has now taken over the guest room in the house as we will never again put her where she can open a drawer that can then block the door and cause so much trouble. If it isn't obvious, she along with Putt and Chip rule the house!
