One of our cats will growl at the door when he hears someone near the door. He then immediately hides under the stairs if they knock or if he hears the door unlock. Coward.
That being said, his growling behavior is a cute way to inform me someone is at my door way before I hear a knock and alerts me when the mail comes or if a package is being delivered.
Well, yes, the cat knows that a) you're bigger than he is and b) you are not as perceptive as he is. So by letting you know there's a problem and then letting you handle it, the cat is acting purely rationally.
