Jamie reassures her cat through the intercom and says: ‘Winston I am coming to get you.’ 

The emergency medical technician revealed how she was ‘definitely surprised’ when she found out Winston had learned to press the doorbell instead of using a cat flap. 

Jamie posted the video to the Ring Doorbell Users Group on Facebook captioned: ‘My cat has learned to ring the doorbell when he wants in the house.’
