Tommy, our cat can open doors

Tommy is our male kitty who really is a special one. He knows how to open the door between our kitchen and garage, and frequently "let's himself in". (See video below) We keep the door locked when needed, but other times he makes his sisters and mom happy by opening the door for them to come into the house. The other cats do not know how to open the door, and never try. He stands on the washing machine next to the door (which has a lever type handle), and stands with his two front feet on the lever handle and pushes it downward until the door pops open a crack. --sometimes he has to jump, jiggle, or push on it more than once, and he'll try until he gets it, too. Then, he jumps down to use his paws to pull the door open wide enough to dart inside triumphantly! He also has his own "blankee" which he carries inside when he is inside, and sometimes carries back out to the garage when it's time to go out for the night. Sometimes he even specifically places the blanket in "his bed" out in the garage, and proceeds to jump into his bed--clinging to his blanket.
Tommy likes to be held and will cry and whine for our attention. He is quite a little character.
