As anyone who has ever lived with a cat can tell you, our feline friends are every bit as intelligent as they are cute. Cats make up their own minds and can be unpredictable, as is the case in this video, where we see Philo the cat totally bypassing his brand new pet door, in favor of the human entrance, of course!
This is only one example of how a strong willed feline will have us laughing, asking ourselves the quintessential cat question: “Which one of us is the pet here, anyway?”
Cats were considered holy in the halls of ancient Egypt. Since then, they have held a unique place in the animal kingdom, in that they are one of the few domestic animals that humans have lived with, loved and even bred, but have never been able to put to work. Looks like it’s going to take a lot more than coaxing to get Philo to give that cat door a try!
