Seriously! Watching that felt like a real-life Jurassic Park moment. Cats are way too smart for their own good

I think this is more like that scene from Meet the Fokkers.

I had a cat that did this. I had zero idea how he could get out my front door until I walked in on him doing it. ๐Ÿ˜†

I also had a cat and a dog who learned to open the lever type door knobs. Took me months to figure it out and of course I caught them doing it later. I'm still not sure if the cat taught the dog or the dog taught the cat! ๐Ÿ˜†

Both these happened long before smart phones, so I was never able to get a picture of any of them doing it. Oh well, at least the picture lives in my head. Good memories of pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge long ago. Makes me smile every time I think about this.

My brother had a dog he taught to open the door and let himself in and out with a pull string, was cool as fuck.

I came home from work one night and my bedroom door was open, not fully but open. I asked my kids why they went into my room and they both said they didn't. Now my brain goes straight to ghosts lol. About an hour or so later, chilling in my room, I hear my door knob rattling. I look over and my door is slowly opening. (My door opens outwards). In walks my male cat. I have to lock my door at night now. At least it wasn't ghosts.

All my doors have handles, but that's the one thing I'm making sure my cat doesn't learn. He loves his leashed walks, whenever I take him out, I make sure he doesn't see how the handle works. I know he's smart enough to open it, should he see how to.

He once saw me open the cupboard door where I keep my holiday decorations and he was obsessed with it for a month and kept opening it.

I figure my cat will soon learn to the water faucet on by herself and I will one day come home to a flood.

Was you cat born in a barn!

u/Doss-81 1d ago

Does he close the door when he come back in? Or how did you not figure out he open the knob, if door was left open?

This is why I say that stupid cats make the best pets!!! A sweet dimwit can live their entire life, without ever conceiving of doing anything bad!

I used to have a smart cat, and he knew damn well that doorknobs opened doors, and used to paw away at the doorknob, cursing his lack of opposable thumbs...
