Meet Dexter and Gizmo. Their owner, Matt Hirst, would leave them in the kitchen while he was at work, but somehow, they were lazing around the whole house by the time he got back.
Curious to discover how the pair had managed to break free, he set up a camera by the kitchen door to see how they made their daring escape.
The stealthy cat does most of the work by climbing onto his scratching post beside the door. He then fiddles with the doorknob until it opens.
The dog looks on in hope, then reluctantly rushes out, presumably to have a snooze on a comfy sofa. Just before the camera switches off, he mischievously peeks around the kitchen door to see whether anyone saw their rule-breaking antics.
Sorry dog: this time, you were rumbled.
If you’re feeling impatient, fast forward to 01:35 on the video for the action.

Imagine bipedal cats with opposable thumbs and somewhat smarter.

Cats are cleverer than many people believe.
The cat seems to be teasing the dog before he grabs the door knob in earnest. OK Rover, do you promise, you’ll let me lick the doggie earwax out of your ears? You do? OK, I’ll open the door for you.

It was a setup.
The dog ran out but the cat stayed behind.
Obviously, the EVIL cat was trying to cause trouble for the obedient, angelic little dog.

Back in the late 60s my mom kept the dry pet food
in the floor length broom cabinet at the edge of the
kitchen. The black and white fuzzy cat would lay on
his back pawing at the bottom of the cabinet door
until he sprung the catch. One of two German
Shorthair Pointers hovering above would finish the
job and the three of them would gorge themselves
until my mom would show-up and cuss us out for
letting them do it.

Who says dogs are smarter than cats?
Not only did the cat figure out how to open the door, but it let the dog go first to be sure there was no angry human on the other side of the door.

LOL....I saw the little GIF the other day, and didn't recognize the other culprit was a dog.

You gotta wonder if that didn’t hurt.
I just fed Bob and like a big dummy, he didn’t see his deceased rat and struck the Lexan door, instead...thrice.
I had to reach back in and bump ‘im in the snoot with the rat so he could eat.
I doubt Bob’s gonna be openin’ doors, soon.
