Today, my cat wanted to go out. She watched me open the front door, leave it open while I got something from the car then come back inside. She then insisted on going out the back door. I'm a slave to a cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom insists on leaving both the front and kitchen door open in case the cat comes home, no matter if it gets cold inside. Yes, the cat is that important. Yes, he also has a cat flap. FML
Today, my cat learned how to open doors. Ever since then she's been running up to my room, opening my door, and running away. My cat is playing ding-dong ditch. FML
Today, my cat somehow managed to lock me out of my apartment by jumping on the doorknob while I was taking the trash out. I had to call a locksmith, and now it's like my cat won't even come near at me, like I betrayed him for allowing a stranger into our home. FML
Today, it’s 3 a.m. and my cat is shredding the padded door of her box, wanting to get out. I would be sympathetic if not for the fact that she has a perfectly good cat flap on the other side of that box, so she can go outside whenever she wants. FML
Today, my cat managed to lock my dad and me outside of our house. FML
Today, I found out the reason why my cat would sometimes go outside for days at a time was because when she would go out, my neighbor would lure her in with cat treats and keep her there for up to 2 days. She's an indoor cat now. FML
Today, I left my apartment in a hurry and noticed my neighbor's cat sitting outside my door. I assumed he had escaped, so I spent 15 minutes trying to coax him back upstairs. My neighbor eventually opened her door and said, “He's waiting for me to leave.” Apparently, he does this every morning. FML
Today, I went searching for my cat who'd escaped. Of course, I searched the entire building and somehow she'd got back in through my front door of my apartment. FML
Today, my cat tried to escape when I opened my front door. I noticed that whenever I start babbling and making random sounds, he stops dead and just stares at me in confusion, before walking back in. With my luck, however, this time my neighbor heard everything. They walked quickly away, as if they'd seen a ghost. FML
Today, I accidentally let one of my grandma's cats outside, so I tried to get her back in. Unfortunately, this proved to be very difficult, because this damn cat would wait for me to get near her, and as soon as I came close to picking her up, she would leap and run away, then wait for me again. Show-off bastard. FML

Then don't let it out, or pick it up and put it outside? Why is this something to complain about?

Just accept it and life will become easier.

If you're a guy then I get it. Male cat owners always seem to bow down to the wishes of their Cat Overlord. That same cat will not even bother trying to pull those stunts with a woman. At least, that's been my experience. When he had to go out of town, my ex used to tell me exactly how and what I was to feed the cat, and to expect to have to go out and call her several dozen times from sunset to midnight, before I'd have any hope of getting her inside. Well, I fed her what I decided to feed her, she ate the lot, and came in as soon as I called her. A cat soon learns who it can walk over, and who won't stand for any nonsense.

There is a 1960s Sci-Fi Novel by Robert Heinlein called "The Door Into Summer". In it the protagonist has a cat, and lives in a house with 11 doors leading outside. During the winter he had to open all 11 doors for the cat because it was sure that one of those doors would lead outside to Summertime. Be glad you only have 2 doors.

Anyone who owns a cat is a slave to a cat :p

Cat's aren't aware that two different entries can lead to the same area. That's why they might come in one door, and insist on going back out the other one, because it's a different outside and they have to check both of them

Cats shouldn't be out door cats. It's dangerous and they poop and spray in your neighbours yards. Your neighbours probably don't like your outdoor cat. Dumbass.

You want stubborn one time the cat I had growing up insisted on coming in the back door didn't matter if my mom called or my dad the problem with coming in the back door was the steps were being replaced an it was about 4 feet from the ground to the door I think the cat wanted to be picked up an brought in but after a lot of encouragement from me an my sister our cat finally made the jump

I read somewhere recently that cats do this because they don't understand that it's the same outside through both doors. Or that it remains the same outside even if the door shuts and is reopened.
