WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A pet owner who spent an hour and a half installing a cat door shared video of his feline companion's "epic" rejection of the offering.

The "Epic Cat Door Fail" video, posted to YouTube by user Philo Cat, features Philo the cat in his owner's yard after the installation of a cat door.


"Yesterday, I spent an hour and half installing a new cat door so Philo the Cat could come and go as he pleases. This is his reaction," the cat's owner wrote in the video's description.

The video shows Philo approach the door at his owner's prompting and -- without a second glance at the cat door -- hop up on his hind legs to turn the door handle to enter the house in the style of a human.
