This is the third story of an indoor cat making the Great Escape and then staying near home. A friend's tabby Nairobi, unknown to her, followed her out to the garage from the house and then slipped out the garage door sometime before it closed. Ten hours later when she got back home Nairobi's brother was fussing at the back door. She looked out to see her cat curled up on a lawn chair in the backyard. She had let both of them out in the yard under supervised conditions numerous times so it was a safe place for him.

The other is an Aby named Squid. The exterior of the house had been painted a week before and one window screen in a second-floor bathroom wasn't hooked. Sometime early in the morning before sunrise, Squid pushed the screen open and somehow got down from the scond floor to the backyard. He spent the early morning chasing squirrels in the yard. The squirrels made so much noise that someone came out to see what was going on and Squid dashed back into the house. He, too, had been allowed to snoop in the backyard while on a on a leash so it was a familiar place.
