Complicated Problems - Simple Solutions

H.L. Meowken, famous feline journalist,  author of this often repeated quote:
"For every complicated problem there is a simple solution. . . 
             . . . and it is almost always wrong."

Obviously the venerable Mr. Meowkin never found himself trapped in the labrynthine convolutions of the baseboard cupboards of a Motor Home because his humans shut the door on him while he was on a fact-finding expedition.  
Problem: Being trapped in cupboards which have no handles or latches on the inside, which would be difficult to use anyway when one lacks opposable thumbs.
Solution: Elegantly simple. . . scream, howl, scratch, hiss, butt head on doors, and destroy anything non-metallic found inside cupboards.
Upper cupboards are even simpler: it's hard to describe how quickly the humans come to liberate you when they hear glassware being rattled.

footnote: Do NOT, under any circumstances, upon being freed, allow your humans to perceive that you are grateful for being liberated.  Do everything that you have in your "cat"alog, ie: aloof glances, disparaging growls, scratch them if the opportunity presents itself.  This must be done in order to impress upon them the sheer stupidity of their having shut you in the cupboards when they should have known you were exploring.
