Occupy the Hallway

Poor feline.

At one time, he had free run of the entire house; he was the lucky 1% with all the freedom, all the attention from the humans, unlimited access to warm human laps and no competition for treats.

But recently, the canines have decided enough is enough and have found a way to make their point: Occupy the Hallway! Impede the feline's very movements outside his room (the laundry room.) Prevent him from seeking that warm human lap to settle down for a nap. Make him wonder if it is really worth it to have his own special room where canines can't go -- if the canines can determine when he enters and leaves the room.
