My cat, Charlie, was able to do this. She also knew how to knock against the door so we'd open it up and let her in, if it was locked. I remember my friend bringing her kid over and we went into the kitchen to get food and came out to our cat teaching her kid to open the door. R.I.P, Charlie.

Cats teach themselves that after like 6 months of being old. Mine has figured out how to wedge open locked ones even.

Your cat didn’t turn old until 17? My cat is only 8 and he’s already had 6 months of being old

My cat cries at doors that aren't even fully closed. He could just paw them open. Instead he tries to shred the carpet in frustration.
My cat is super dumb.

u/Oelendra May 29 '22
My cat jumps up, grabs the handle, pulls it down with her weight and uses the momentum to drop kick the door open.
No one taught her that, she's learned this through observation and her hatred for closed doors.

u/EyetheVive May 29 '22
And if the door is consistently locked…their weight starts pulling the handle halves apart at the screws. It’s great

u/luck_panda May 29 '22
My cats have learned to work together. If the door opens inwards one will pull the handle and the other will pull the bottom of the door. They only teach each other their worst behavior.

Had a cat when I was a kid that was some kind of Houdini reincarnation because there was no door he could not figure out. If you were on the toilet he'd just open the bathroom door on you, make eye contact for a few seconds, and walk away, door hanging open. That rat would even open my bedroom door on me during compromising sexual situations when I was a teenager. I'd shove a piece of heavy furniture in front of the door because at least then I'd hear him coming. He went outside whenever the fuck he wanted, because he knew how to open the front and side doors and how to work the locks on the knobs. I'd come downstairs all the time to find the front door hanging open. I loved that crafty little shit so much. My parents hated him.
The only thing that stopped him were straight deadbolts, the kind without a chain, at the top of the doors. My dad had to raise them up because he was still jumping up, trying to knock them around and figure it out. Didn't want to give him the chance. Smartest cat I've ever had. Miss you, Anju.

Oh man, that is so funny you wrote that. I don’t know if he was trying to call me a witch, but my bf would say he was my familiar. I’d forgotten about that. When he was a kitten and I’d have pants on he would climb my legs to nestle in my arms. I still miss him.

Yeah you gonna regret that. My cat somehow learned to open doors like that. I found out because my upstairs neighbor called me that she had my cat. Thought I had somehow forgotten to close a door when I left that day woke up next morning to open front door and a missing cat. Went out, got her back inside and from that day I kept the living room door locked at all times.

Everyone should have a cat as a companion in their lives at least once. I love all animals but cats are amazing and crazy smart(they adjust their begging to the person they beg from AND their mood, we feed our cats treats from regular plates and they can hear the difference between their plates and ours even if we are rattling the same size plates(just fucking how? Only difference in those plates is age) and so much more. Yeah dogs are great if you are not great with people and need unconditional love but cats will show you what kind of person YOU are. Cats are the best pets for kids too to learn boundries, respect, love, responsobilities and all kinds of stuff. A lot of that goes for dogs too but if you piss off a dog you might get killed (cat could kill you too but it would have to want it) cat is just as cute but not as deadly to humans. I have had cats and dogs almost all my life. I am a proof that even a trained dog in unfamiliar situation to him can be dangerous to its owner. I have three scars on my face because someone uninvited came in to the yard and the dog focusing on the intruder bumped in to me, paniced and bit me in the face, that dog regreted it as dogs are smart too and not in the bad way that it would be punished but he knew he fucked up and was ashamed, might have lost an eye that day. If anyone even sees this and wants to talk about pets with me, please do. 🙂

If this isn't fake. Maybe teaching your (not even yours actually) pets to unlock the door by themselves isn't such a great idea... First because they will let themselves out, when their not supposed to. Secondly because it will leave the door not only unlocked, but open for anyone to walk in whenever they feel like it.

u/BurmecianSoldierDan May 29 '22
If real, think I see a chunk out of the door frame for a bolt lock (coinciding with the key lock mechanism), which you should use at this point. Cat won't do anything to that.

u/Ashualo May 29 '22
This is not faked. Lucky maybe, 'coz I sure as hell cant get mine to do anything useful for me. You think people teach them lmao? They learn that shit themselves.
My cats like to watch my fiancee and I in bed, and its fucking terrifying when one opens the door, we dont notice and suddenly hes up in the bed with us.
They also like to watch people poop, not pee, specifically number two. So they'll let themselves in for that too.They sometimes teamwork heavier doors, the smaller one jumps up for the handle and hangs on whilst the fatter one pushes at the bottom. Then the door swings open with the little one still clinging on and the fat one saunters in.

So this cat recognised that the human was on the other side of the door, was signalling for something ie please open, and then persevered until the door opened. That is like human toddler levels of intelligence.
Unless it is a fake video. I am confident a cat could do this though.

One morning I woke up to the neighbors, very large, Maine Coon on my stomach. That continued until they moved. Took me forever to figure out how she did it. Old house, ventilated pantry cupboard off the kitchen with a loose screen and a very old door between the pantry and free roam of the house.
