Most cats meow or scratch at the door when they want to come inside, but Philo the Cat is much more human than feline. Recently, Philo’s dad, Brian, took nearly two hours out of the sunny afternoon to install a new cat door so Philo could come and go as he pleases.

He made sure to stand back when it was all said and done, calling Phil over to capture his reaction to the new contraption on camera. “Try out your new door,” Dad says. “Good Kitty!” Philo wanders up to the front door with hesitation, looking back into the camera a few times to make sure everything is copacetic. Dad’s encouragement seems to bring him closer and closer to the useful new door flap, but just when you think Dad’s efforts are about to pay off, Philo reminds us how smart and sassy these pets can truly be.

I think you may know where this is going, but I don’t want to give it away. It’s just too hilarious! So hilarious, in fact, that this video has already garnered half a million views on YouTube in just a few days.

Okay, here’s an idea: House keys for cats. Right!?
