When I was a kid, ours opened the doors by jumping at the door handles. Grabbing them and pulling them down.
They even taught their kittens
We had to install all handles so they pointed upwards, just so the cats couldn’t grab them
But even that only lasted a couple months until they learned to latch onto them anyway and wiggle around until their weight pulled the handle to the side and opened the door
I don’t know if my cat understood what the button did or if it was just because he knew he could get my attention, but my cat knew how to turn off my computer.
Oh they very much can.

Clever fluffy bastards
Totally. We had to switch to round nobs on the doors for this very thing.
Surprised no one though of round knobs instead
They are simply not a thing where I live (also quite annoying to use compared to a handle)
You could lock your doors, but then again next thing you know you find your cat watching locksmith lawyer and clawing its way in.
Handles? Luxury! We have a cat that has opened doors that have knobs. She needs a nearby windowsill and uses both paws to grip it.
One or two of ours have discovered how to turn on the heated blanket.
