.. states that a closed door and a cat exert a gravitational force of attraction at each other. Due to this force an action of closing a door will produce a reaction of a cat scratching at it. The location of the cat in reference to the door (side a or b) is not relevant.

Kasia's Law does not apply to closet doors though. Rather the inverse applies. Open a closet door and it's safe to assume at least one cat has entered the closet and is hiding inside, even if you've maintained surveillance on the door and have not witnessed an entry by said cat(s).
