When cats roam freely outside, they eventually want to come back home. One cat owner noticed that their cat signaled it wanted to be let back in by staring forlornly into the doorbell camera, hoping someone would see and open the door.
How a cat figured out a doorbell camera would be a way to summon humans to do its bidding remains a mystery. Perhaps if the cat learned to poke the doorbell repeatedly with its paw, it might get people to respond faster. Until then, if you let your cat outside and have a doorbell camera, check it regularly to make sure your cat isn’t stuck outside. Your cat will thank you.
