So the cats were in the bathroom, with no one else inside, with the door closed? Cats are flexible sure but I've never seen one get under a door jamb.

If a cat can fit their head into it, they can get into it.

Exactly. Their body plan isn't as svelte as a ferret, but they have similar instincts and can make-do.

In my experience, sometimes cats will get in places you don't want them to be, denying them the exit makes them want it. Close the door for a little bit, then when you open it, they come shooting out. No muss, no fuss, no one gets clawed trying to usher anyone from behind the toilet or between the shower curtains.

Cats are liquid and stealthy. I used to close the door on mine all the time. Wouldn't know it until about an hour later, and they were howling.

The cats might have pushed the door shut?
