• One final-year student learned this when the college cat, known to her as Scribbles, made a bedroom its second office. The regular cleaner adored the furry visitor, so nothing was said. Enter a substitute cleaner, armed with bleach and a sense of duty, and an email soon warned that animals were banned from student rooms. Doors were shut, paws scratched paint, morale plunged.

• The cat protested outside the locked door, vocal and desperate. Dodging the furry missile became a daily workout. Then came a plan built on timing. On cleaning morning the student stayed in the hallway, showering Scribbles with attention but never opening the door. The moment the cleaner arrived, the cat sprinted inside the forbidden zone before any human could stop it.

• Admin discovered a loophole it had written itself into. The next memo softened the ban, now fussing only about overnight stay and unsupervised lounging. Problem solved. Scribbles received daytime residency, the student kept night time quiet, and the policy office learned that feline persistence beats paperwork. In the eternal match between cat fur and red tape, chalk one up for whiskers. Campus tales recall Scribbles rewriting policy with one casual paw swipe.
