Cats are smart. They often don’t get enough credit for their intelligence. Perhaps because it’s not on demand the way a dog’s intelligence is.

Dogs, universally known as man’s best friend, love to please their people. Therefore, they’re willing to do all sorts of tricks and tasks, showing off how clever they can be.

But cats are more like little furry criminal masterminds, their intelligence comes out when they’re stirring up trouble.

One rather clever black and white kitty showed that he was a regular feline Houdini with his well-planned escape.

The tuxedo cat’s great escape started off with a slice of pizza. As the cat’s owner explained on Reddit, the whole reason that the feline was confined to the shed outside, was because he was eating pizza on the patio. Apparently, this little kitty has a fondness for stealing food whenever his humans are eating outside.

Thus finding himself banished to the shed, the cat wasn’t giving up that easily. He wanted food and he wanted out. And he was very smart in how he went about it. The cat simply used his paws to turn the doorknob. Naturally, his owner was puzzled as to how the cat kept managing to escape, so he set up a camera.

And that is how he managed to get the footage of his feline in action!

As the owner explained in the Reddit post, “…he’s in the shed because we were eating on the patio. Last time we ate on the patio he quickly hopped up and walked away with a slice of my pizza in his mouth.”
