When I was a kid, my brother stuck his finger into the hinge-side gap on the front door of the apartment, right before dad left for work. The door shut on his finger, breaking my brother’s finger and giving me a serious case of the willies when I see something like OP’s picture.

I’d put a flap on the outside, just like some siding or something…

I would have added a flap to the hinge side that blocks arms getting in. But you don’t want solutions, you just want me to listen empathetically to your ongoing failures. :p

“cat arm”
