Not in all homes. There may not be enough room to do so.

Not really an issue. Oscar isn't a cat.

You mean, pronounce "Batherine" with a K? "Catherine"?

But I suppose Katherine is a "Kat" looking for the Door Into Summer. Does this mean she has to try every door in the house before she goes outside?

I'm referring to the door in the

you know what would really be a bummer... if she got stuck long enough for her food to run out, her phone line is cut off somehow, and she ends up dieing... but because she thinks that no one cares about her (not sure how exactly that works yet) she ends up turning into a vampire herself (out-of-sight-out-of-mind, as per this
comic)and she will be Monica's first test case in crossing over to the land of the dead, for Jaguar Girl purposes... I'd say that would be an "adventure" wouldn't you?

Is that her tongue or is she gritting her teeth?
You know, her upcoming adventure may be more of the romantic sort as opposed to something supernatural.

Sometimes I get ribbed for carrying both gadgets - until someone needs one of them.

Not after today's strip it isn't.
Unless her romance is with something/one preternatural.

Hey there, Supernatural beings need love too (or at least a good booty call)<I feel kind of ashamed for that one>.

One day years back I was carrying two flashlights (a twin AA Mini-Maglite and a single AAA Maglite Solitaire), which is plenty for a sunny Sunday mostly spent indoors. And then the power went out...

Not enough room to pass ANYTHING under the door. There was a threshold covering a height difference between the hallway and the bathroom floor, and the bathroom door fit TIGHTLY against it--tight enough to put some strain on the latch, which may have contributed to why the latch broke loose from the doorknob mechanism. Believe me, we held an extended discussion through the door before deciding we needed to destroy it. He had gone into the bathroom wearing only a robe and slippers instead of his street clothes (which had a Swiss Army knife in the pocket, so he wouldn't have needed our help). I cut the new door higher so there was no strain on the latch. The house has since been demolished.
