An acrobatic cat has got to grips with modern technology and figured out how to get let back into its house by pouncing on the property’s Ring doorbell.
The impressive moment was caught on the doorbell’s built-in camera and shows the kitty leaping off a nearby car onto the bell’s button before celebrating with a triumphant meow.
The grey feline achieved the heroic leap by first scoping the scene, lining up the bell as it paced up and down the windshield of the white car in the home’s driveway.
The next step was to sit pensively, reflecting on the daredevil task ahead, before making its mind up to perform the ambitious jump.
The nervous cat then displayed a measure of self-doubt, coming close to leaping off the vehicle but chickening out of the challenge several times.

Having finally found the best position from which to launch at the button, the kitty pounces with breathtaking power, soaring through the air straight at the doorbell camera.
In a rather ungraceful scramble, the kitty manages to find some leverage above the doorbell and somehow hits the button that rings the bell.
Presumably thrilled to have not burnt one of its nine lives on the stunt, the feline shuffles from sight soon after its impressive leap and lets out a loud meow of triumph.
The footage was shared to social media on Wednesday with the caption: ‘Cat successfully hits a Ring doorbell so its owners can let it in.’
One user commented: ‘Cats are the assassins of the animal kingdom.’
