I miss playing with baby goats :(

BTW, those are pygmy goats, the naughtiest of goats. But all goats are much cleverer than they are given credit for.

My old boss had a rotation in veterinary school that included day to day care of the farm animals that are at the school (or maybe an off-campus barn, I never asked). She said that every morning, the goats were out of their enclosures wandering around. It didn't matter what kinds of latches they used on the doors, the goats would find a way to escape.

Horses are very good at opening gates too, which is why a lot of stables have kickbars at the bottom of the door as well as the latch at the top

Our old dog Buffy was an escape artist of Houdini level.



She was crate trained, and it was her safe spot for the longest time. We crated her when we went to work since she was a nervous chewer. She never seemed to mind, and would hop right in even before we told her. Her younger sister Cordelia started as crate trained, but then when she turned 1 she decided she was a big girl and refused to go in anymore. She never caused any problems so we went with it. Buff still got in hers.

Years later we got a beagle puppy who hated the crate from day one. He would yowl the whole time and pee in the kennel even if he was only in there for an hour and had been let out right before. Sick of daily baths, we let him stay out and he did fine.

About this time Buffy decided this crating business was totally unfair and began chewing her crate. She got to the point where she could force the gate open. So we got an all-steel crate. She figured out the latch pretty quickly. So we put a carabiner on the door. She bit the carabiner tp undo it and got out. Then we went with steel, oval screw links on the gate. I was accused by Mrs. Underbridge of not putting her up in the morning, since the dog was out and the door was closed. Turns out she would pull the door in and eel her way out. So we tried two links at top and bottom of the gate and called it quits when we found two broken teeth. The really weird part was that when I was doing up the links she would stare at what I was doing like she was trying to figure out her next escape plan.

She was a smart dog, but really stubborn.

Sort of related, a friend of mine lives in a town where they had to get a legal exception from some handicap laws, specifically one that required all public building to have lever-style door handles instead of knobs, because the local black bears figured out pretty early on they can open lever-style door handles and breaker bars. Apparently the bears haven't figured out how to use the big automated-open buttons by the doors, but he thinks it's just a matter of time. He used to have a pic of a small black bear just sleeping in the public library lobby, I'll have to ask him if he still has it.

Vizsla? My brother has one that is an escape artist. He has 2 metal crates U-bolted together because she can flip a single crate to get the door open. Then every joint is reinforced with steel U-Bolts and has key padlock 3 times on the door (top/middle/bottom).

She also knows how to open door knobs by crushing the knob and then turning it.

I would legit play a game where you are a cat in a city. Establish your territory, defend against rivals, form alliances, avoid unfriendly humans and crow gangs.

Well, I mean, huge hours of my childhood were lost to the DOS game Alley Cat, so maybe that's not surprising.

The guy who made Deadly Premonition is making a mystery game where you're in a village where everybody turns into cats and dogs at night.

There's also Tokyo Jungle, which is somewhat like that but you can play as other animals as well.

Half black lab, half Jack Russell. She got the lab lazies and love of people, and the Jack killer instinct and grouchiness about other dogs.

On one occasion we set up my laptop cam in the kitchen to see who was knocking things off the counter. We'd only been gone fifteen minutes when she hops up on the counter and starts knocking things off. Then she suddenly turns and stares at the laptop, hops down and we see her head pop up looking like she's trying to figure out how to turn it off. Then she goes back and knocks off the glass sugar jar, which lands on something else she dropped and so didn't shatter. Xander the beagle walked well around it, but as he left the kitchen he gave what can only be described as a wistful look back over his shoulder.

Man I'm so glad my dogs aren't escape artists anymore... heck one time I left the house without actually latching their crate doors, they could have just pushed the doors open, but neither of them figured it out til I got home. One of them is small enough that he fits through cat doors, though, which is sometimes frustrating.

As puppies though, oof. They figure out early on that they can climb up the sides of X-pens and crates, so if you have their crate inside of a pen, you have to make sure it doesn't actually contact any sides of the pen or they'll climb right out. And we had to buy new x-pens where the crossbars were spaced further apart, and even then once they're long enough they can still kind of climb up them. When Pabu was a puppy he also figured out he could lean against his crate to shove it against the pen, then climb up the crate and kind of hop-climb out of the pen.

Thankfully neither of them have any desire to get out when we have them in the back yard, though, since I think both my dogs could easily clear our 4-foot fences if they got in their heads to do it.

I do that with my cat too! She gets visibly grumpy and increasingly louder if I don't pick her up and haul her around like a maniac. She's tiny so I'm her Autobot I guess?

One time I accidentally steered her into my water feature wall fountain doing that. She and I had a very animated chat about that particular incident. After she caught the fly, obviously.
