Ring.com has a doorbell (wired, and battery-powered, gen1 only) for the cat shit scenario.
Arlo has some consumer-friendly 'wireless' ones that use CR123a batteries...
I'm considering both.
Arlo is shit just due to using CR123's.

+1 for everything loudsubz says
the arlo's issue is your recorded video. im pretty sure there isnt a hdd in the wireless hub unit, so if all goes to a cloud then they may ask for money to retrieve data.
Arlo Q Plus has a powered on ethernet & sdcard local storage option. I went with the normal Arlo Q as for my particular use the extra cost wasn't needed. They have a week's free of cloud storage though.
Biggest issue with arlo is the lag between motion detected and recording. Basically it's useless unless the subject stays within the frame after the camera picks up the movement.
Hator they updated the software since the original. You can now update the motion detection sensitvity & audio sensitivity to your needs within the app. As well as 1080p compared to 720p.
The geo-fencing is the particular thing that swayed me to the arlo as I come & go at various times, not really on a schedule.
