I had a cat as a kid that could turn doorknobs - my parents would send him to the basement at night because he had a bad habit of trying to mark furniture as his territory, and we had to start locking the door because he figured out how to open it
Round doorknobs? Your kitty actually gripped and turned it?
Dang, ours tried tirelessly for like 2 months. He knew and understood exactly what we were doing, and we could literally see him trying to turn it, but he never could get a good enough grip.
My dad kept a latch lock on the front door though, eventually our cat learned all on his own to bat at and use as his own door knocker.
Not all cats are stupid, just limited in human abilities…
Our cat would jump up and hang from the doorknob by both of his front paws and then wiggle back and forth until it opened. Our other cat at the time could never figure it out lol

Ours had it fully figured out, I just guess your doorknob was probably a bit easier to turn than ours was…
