A man claims he spent well over an hour installing a pet door so his cat Philo could come and go as it pleases from the house.

In true feline fashion, the cat ignores the owner’s hard work and finds an alternative way to enter the house that required no labor on the owner’s part.

The video has gone viral, with over 690,000 views on YouTube.

Philo has a Twitter page, in which the cat is described as a "Mischievous, long-haired Siamese; Named for 1st century philosopher; Means love in Greek; Sage of felines; Oracle of hidden wisdom; Dispenser of insight."
