I need to talk about my child

So, when one fights crime, one has to do things like work graveyard, then sleep for some sort of time somewhere close then go back to fighting crime at 3 PM. Good thing, there are places where I fight crime that has beds sometimes.. Anyways I did that last night. I am a good hedgie mommy though, I made sure he had clean water, food and snuggles for the night before I went to work.

I just got back from work, I went up to my bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face and then proceeded to walk into my room. I noticed that my door was slightly ajar. Which sometimes happens when people throw stuff into my room, they don't close it all the way.. however one of my mom's cats was standing vigil at the door and getting feisty to the other two cats in the house. I walk into the room, flip on the light, notice that the wheel to the hedgehog home was off of the wall, his food dish was scattered everyone his water bottle had been knocked over so it was leaning and Pinny.. standing where my shoe shelf was at the foot of my bed hanging out in a loafer. With that, "oh, hey mom!" look.

I walk over to him, he sweetly huffles as a pick him he crawls up my shoulder and grooms behind my ear. I then fix the cage and give him food and now he is happily munching away.

HOW DID MY HEDGEHOG GET OUT OF HIS CAGE!?!?!?! I know that he can't climb that well. I know that there are times however that he can, when determined, find away out of anything. This was a talent of his since the night we brought him home. We had a bin that we were pretty sure he couldn't get out of. We put a small thing of food and a small thing of water in it and then went to bed. The next morning.. we woke up to no hedgehog in the tub. We searched the house and found him asleep under a very large junk pile in the basement of the house we were living in.

 I just don't even know how he does this. Anyways, I am glad that he is safe. Also, MAD PROPS to the Mainecoon my mom owns, for being totally possessive of him. It is funny, non of the cats in the house feel the need to mess with him, but apparently, Pincushion is Justice's hedgehog. Ok, I am going to pass out now.

Also, watch this video. This is like.. the owners manual for a hedgehog.
