Cat’s Operating Doorknobs!

It would seem the Velocraptor isn’t the only animal that knows how to open doors

We recently viewed a video (seen below) of a house cat leaping into the air and operating a door knob to get the door open. It’s quite the impressive, entertaining sight, as most acrobatic feats accomplished by cats are remarkable viewing material. This one, which features a house pet operating door knob hardware, is no exception.

It turns out, YouTube is littered with videos of animals opening doors. Typically its cats, but there are also clips of dogs, ferrets, and even horses turning door knobs so enter and exit different areas.

Of course, the motives of this door-opening cat can be questioned. While the title of the YouTube video itself claims that the cat is opening the door to let his buddy in, one can’t help but notice the door-opening cat seems more interested in going outside itself, as opposed to hanging out with his fellow cat.

Regardless of whatever the motives for door-opening was, it is clearly an impressive feat for an animal with no thumbs to operate a piece of door knob hardware. Not to mention it jumps vertically approximately four-times its own size.
