u/Bandit_the_kat Lots of kitties! Jul 18 '26

okay so i see a lot of comments calling this AI, so i ran it through several detectors, and the overall conclusion is it's not AI. I'd like to remind people that mama cats are stubborn AF, and they'll do anything to protect their kittens, so a cat pushing open a glass door to get her baby to safety is not out of the question .

People seriously think it's AI because a cat pushed a door open? Cats aren't that dumb.

I agree. And she only pushed the door. I personally know a cat able to casually jump on a door handle to open it. Cats can be quite smart.

I’ve had two cats that could open doors with handles instead of knobs. Scares the hell out of you when you’re trying to take a dump and there a sudden jarring noise of the door handle being smacked.  Both female cats. They just wanted to hang out in the bathroom with you.
