the kitten chronicles - part 194

Maybe I should have named the black and white fur-brain Houdini instead of Rooney. He is proving to be quite the devious escape artist. The trick to successfully getting out the front door and into the very exciting world of outside is timing. You can't just run straight off when the door opens - you hang back, so you're not noticed, then at the last second- bolt into freedom. It's like Prison Break. Luckily, like a long time resident released from some dark jail the escapee is often dazzled by the brightness of the outside. It's best to scoop up your indoor cat when he's in this state. It also helps that Rooney doesn't seem to quite know what to do when he makes it outside. This morning Rooney zoomed through Rod's legs as he struggled to get out the door and on to Adam's grad ceremony at George Brown. The Big Cat gave chase. And was so close to catching the black and white evader. But Rooney proved a speedy teenager cat can stay just ahead of an angry hobbled old Big Cat.I only caught him because he tried to squeeze through the wire fence into Bill and Yvonne's and got stuck. It's quite possible he doesn't know they cancelled Prison Break. xxx dad
