Meet Dexter and Gizmo. Their owner, Matt Hirst, would leave them in the kitchen while he was at work, but somehow, they were lazing around the whole house by the time he got back.
Curious to discover how the pair had managed to break free, he set up a camera by the kitchen door to see how they made their daring escape.
The stealthy cat does most of the work by climbing onto his scratching post beside the door. He then fiddles with the doorknob until it opens.
The dog looks on in hope, then reluctantly rushes out, presumably to have a snooze on a comfy sofa. Just before the camera switches off, he mischievously peeks around the kitchen door to see whether anyone saw their rule-breaking antics.
Sorry dog: this time, you were rumbled.
If you’re feeling impatient, fast forward to 01:35 on the video for the action.

I view this as a conservative cat, and a liberal dog.
One does all the work, and the other one gets the same benefits without doing any of the work.
LOL. We have two sister GSDs who could do that, both types of knobs. You have to lock everything. If they were in their crates they didn’t escape; but their mother knew how. Have another GSD who could escape from his crate. We usually just crate if we need too.
Too funny!

Cats are too smart by half. Funny video!
I lost a good tom cat to coyotes, really hurt to, he was mouser and a snake killer.
Funny about the cat, my daughters cat picks up her food with her paw and eats out of it.
Especially if they've made any recent purchases from ACME Corporation.
Glad you liked.
Welcome to 0bama’s America.
I believe that that is called “adding insult to injury.”
LOL!
Cats just waiting for the *all clear* from the dog. Also the dog has the cats back with rechecking the area. Cute video. :-)
Just wait until the Pak Protectors get here.

Scouts work in teams of two.
“Scouts work in teams of two”
My thought exactly! The pup and the kitty were using each others strengths.
Cute video. :)
LOL I’m kinda not kidding, Slings. The first time I ever heard a pack of coyotes, I called my mom (she lived in the same apartment complex & they were *loud*) to ask her what it was. The next words out of my mouth were “your doors are locked, right?”
which she thought was hysterically funny.
Now, I don’t think coyotes can actually open doors, but there are breeds of dog who are alleged to be able to do so (”Don’t have lever style door handles.”)
These critters are too smart for own good sometimes.
LOL! Ewww.
