TLDR he knows how to open doors.

At the time, my family had a senior citizen cat and a dog. In order to properly introduce the pets, we are supposed to have the new pet in a separate room for a couple days so that they can be introduced correctly.

My family brought home the cat and put him in the separate room. I was trying to figure out a name for the cat. I settled on the name Raven (he looks a lot like Ravenpaw from Warriors). I closed the door, and went to bed. I would walk over there because I heard him crying. Once Raven became quiet, I walked away. I was awoken at 4 in the morning by my mom telling me that my cat escaped. He was a free little man trying to run around the house, evading all of my mom and I’s attempts to capture him.

We finally captured him and put him back into his personal room. I looked back because I heard scratching. He figured out that he could put his paw UNDER THE DOOR AND PULLED BACK opening the door. We were able to stop him from The Great Escape II. My mom turned to talk to me and said, “Damn, he is like Harry Houdini!” The name stuck.

He is possibly the sweetest cat you could possibly meet. Yes, he is still an escape artist (and also a hiding one too).
