      Actually, Cats, can, and will, open doors, for their own benefit, and should be able to "hold" (at least the bigger cats) the lantern in their mouths... i wish they will release a ln WildShape DLC, where you can keep the wildshape, and some merchants will hqve speak with animals, and use animals and an information and dellivery network, and yes, that includes cats.

    When I was a kid we had this mystery where occasionally whoever was first to get up in the morning would find the front door wide open. After a few weeks we solved it: the door handle was very high up so Dad had tied a rope to the handle so the youngest kids could open it by themselves. Then our cat figured out how to use and let themselves in or out when no humans were around that she could "ask".
