Who is at the door?

Stefanie Whitley had just moved into their new house in Mastic Bay on Long Island. The furniture was settled and the children were going to school, but Lily their cat was missing. They had adopted Lily from the street and described Lily’s personality as a “sour patch kid.” Stefanie said she was worried that Lily, who enjoys being “outdoors and exploring,” would react differently to her new home. “When she wants love, she wants it. And when she doesn’t, don’t touch her,” Whitley explained of their pet’s personality. In the days following Lily’s disappearance, Whitley drove around the neighborhood searching for the cat and calling out her name. “She’s kind of like a dog. She responds to her name, you call her, she comes,” Lily’s mom said. After four days of looking for Lily with no results, Whitley and her family started to worry the pet would never return. Whitley’s house has a Ring doorbell camera that is linked to her TV through Alexa. When someone approaches the front of her home and triggers the doorbell camera, Whitley gets a notification on her television, including a video from the doorbell camera.

While at home on the fourth night without Lily, Whitley was surprised by a Ring doorbell notification on her TV. The notification popped up, and it was Lily’s face. She reached up to touch the TV and yelled. Stefanie said of the unforgettable moment. Somehow, Lily had found her way back to the new house, and Whitley’s Ring camera footage shows that the feline was clever enough to jump up and activate the doorbell camera once she reached her front door. In case her family missed the message, Lily started meowing after arriving home in a way that sounded like she was calling for her “mom.” “It sounded like she was mimicking my kids saying ‘mom,'” Whitley said. “You could tell the difference from a regular meow,” she added. Whitley said she and her family started laughing and racing to the door when they saw Lilly’s notification, and when they reached the front of the house and welcomed the cat back, Lily bolted inside. Stefanie is confident that the pet knows how the doorbell camera works because Lily has continued to use it since her return. “She comes back the same exact way. She hops up on the railing in front of the camera and starts meowing for me,” Stefanie said.
