@user64399 Correct, you can select to receive motion alerts for motion events categorized as "Person" and events categorized as "Other Motion", as well as control which ones are recorded. There is no pet setting. I've attached a screenshot below to show what it would look like to have recording and alerts toggled on for "Person". 

Ok, thank you for the reply. The problem is that I have the person alert on, with the bell turned on, and the other motion control is off. Where is the setting that controls which ones are recorded? It only gives me options to turn them on and off. What am I missing? I want to stop getting a notification every time a cat runs across the porch. Thank you, Jim

@user64399 The screenshot I shared above should be similar to what you see in the Ring app under the Smart Alerts settings. The camcorder icon is to toggle recording on and off, while the bell icon is to toggle alerts on and off. Keep in mind that various factors can impact how effective Smart Alerts are. Depending on things such as the lighting and how the cat is being picked up by the Doorbell, it could be categorized under the "Person" detection at times.
