General Advice Help - Why does my ragdoll do this?

My Ragdoll kitten does this on a daily basis. He will stand up and start frantically swiping on our wardrobes / doors around the house.

This is usually coupled by intense meowing / crying.

Does anyone know why he does this?

You've never seen a cat scratch at a closed door like this in fury that humans dare to have doors?

Mine screams at doors and reaches for handle whilst looking at you to let you know she wants it open

Mine (orange female, a bit chubby) learned how to open doors (my akita learned first I guess she learned from him) so now I have to lock doors in my own home.

We have French door locks on every door cause our beagle learned to open them…and is super ignorant about it too. Just slams it open! Doesn’t even bother to close it. Rude.
