-My cat, a fearsome inveterate hunter, came in the living room to pridefully show me his prey: a sock.
-To go outside, my cat prefers to meow at the door that doesn’t have a cat flap rather than go through the one that does.

My dog, who’s now 8, is very much smart enough to escape the yard. Every time I repair her escape route, she invents a new one. And every single time she gets out, after an exhaustive romp around the neighborhood, she always plops herself down on the driveway waiting for one of us to get home. I’m convinced she has discovered the purpose of our cameras, because all of her escapes in the last few years have been exclusively just out of view of the cameras.
So yeah, she isn’t breaking out of the yard to bail, it’s a multifaceted game of her breaking the rules, taking herself on a walk, and then being proud of herself for outsmarting us. But she doesn’t stray too far, because she still wants her dinner and couch cuddle time.
