This remarkable show of intelligence isn't surprising, according to experts cats have excellent mental capacity and are capable of committing specific events to memory for years at a time, particularly if those events were linked in some way to the animal feeling unsafe or unhappy. Conversely, they can also memorize things they have done in the past that have led to an increase in comfort, such as meowing for food, or – in the case of these cats - ringing the doorbell to get their food.
