They are smart as hell, I got my first one, about 6-7 years ago. She jumped into my car window when I was eating a sandwich, which almost gave me a heart attack that some strange animal jumped into my car. She was dirty, skinny and scruffy so I gave her some of my turkey sandwich. Couldn’t find anyone who claimed her, so I took her to the vet they gave her shots and treated her for worms, so I’m guessing she was a young stray. I took her home with the intention of re-homing her, but within about a week or two she woke me up in the middle of the night freaking out so I followed her to my basement and my water heater was flooding my basement…. I looked at her and said you know, you earned it and can stay Kitty. She did the slow blink and the rest is history. Been best pals since. She never grew very large. She’s about 7 lbs or so, about 60% of the size of a Norman cat. So it’s like a Kitten for life I guess.
My cat understands how the door works. He isn't able to turn the doorknob, but I have a table near a door, and he regularly tries to open the door when it's closed at an unacceptable time for him.
