Last week, Sheekilah Jones was waiting for her bus to work when a different sound began to reverberate through the quiet, early morning streets.
She couldn’t found out the source of the sound, but soon she saw it…
“I heard knocking,” Jones told The Dodo. “But there was no one around.”
Scanning her surroundings, Jones’ eyes then landed upon something pretty odd:
On a stoop a short ways away, Sheekilah saw a black cat on a handrail near the door.
At first she didn’t understand anything, but then she understood why.
The feline leans across the door of the suburban home in Cardiff, UK, and stretches its tiny paw across to reach the gold knocker, before giving it a few raps – indicating, exactly like a human would, that he’d kindly like to be let inside…
“I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” Jones said.

She picked up her phone and caught the scene on cam, lest no one else would believe it, either.
Unfortunately, though, Jones had to go before the cat’s wish was granted…
“I was tempted to go and knock a bit harder for him, but then my bus came,” she said. “So at that point I got on the bus, still in shock.”
Soon after Sheekilah published her video it went viral with millions of views in just a few days.
“Damn cat got game,” one woman wrote on Facebook.
Many have joked the cat had been out partying all night, because of the early morning door knocking.
I wish my cat did something like this. She just screeches at the top of her lungs to let me know she’s ready to enter or leave a room…
