Basil is seen in the video pawing the glass storm door frantically, trying to get at her human.

So close, yet so far!

Another video of the incident shows Basil trying to help her owner into the house via a screened-off window as well.

Eventually, the woman's boyfriend returned home, and she was let back in.

"We're reunited," Basil's owner says at last, "And all Basil cares about is dinner!"

"At least shes trying," wrote one commenter of the compassionate kitty. "My cat would have laid there gleefully."

Other users had experienced similar situations.

"I locked myself out a couple weeks ago and could hear my cats crying because I couldnt get in," one said, as another added, "I was locked out before and my cat was howling at the door lol it was pitiful."
