Owner Was Surprised By A Late-Night Doorbell, Turns Out It Was Her Cat

Does a cat named Winston ring a bell to you? After this story, it will. Just as Winston rung a bell for his owners—quite literally. Winston loves to stroll around his neighborhood in Sitka, Alaska, and when he got tired of doing that, he decided to head home. Just as it happened, the doors were locked and the windows were shut. So Winston decided to ring the doorbell.

Jamie Dunn, an ambulance worker, was surprised by the doorbell ringing at such a late hour. Who could that be? As Jamie looked through the peephole in the door, she saw her cat Winston patiently waiting by the door! She let him in. It was all caught on her door camera that she installed, and she shared the awesome proof her cat’s ingenuity on Facebook, which has in turn been shared all over social media and other media outlets. The owner has been nice and shared some more information and exclusive photos about their smart little Winston with Bored Panda. You can read it and see it below.

“Winston is about 2 years old. We were set to be fostering him and he ended up staying in the family. He acts like a teenage boy, constantly going in and out of the house, and only likes being held and petted on his own terms. He does come in and out of the house as I respond to calls during the day and night for the ambulance.”

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    I have to hand it to Winston. He is intelligent enough to understand what the doorbell is for, and how it works.
