Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A leopard that spent a night and most of a day locked in a bathroom with a dog at a home in India escaped through the ceiling without harming the canine.
The owner of the home in Bilinele village, Dakshina Kannada, said the leopard likely chased the dog into the house Tuesday night, and the big cat's tail was seen through the ajar bathroom door Wednesday morning.
A family member closed the door and villagers looked in through the window to see the leopard and the dog occupying opposite corners of the room.
Forest Department officials arrived at the residence and were working on a capture plan for the leopard when the wild animal climbed through the ceiling of the bathroom and found its way out of the home on its own, avoiding nets placed by authorities.
The leopard fled the village with no injuries reported. The dog, named Bollu, was not injured.

That’s either one very lucky dog, or one very tough dog.
... or a leopard with stomach ache.
Rumor is, some cats can be trained to use the toilet, just like people! I think someone’s pulling our tail, I mean leg!
Was the bucket in the corner the “toilet”?
No, the toilet is the porcelain hole in the floor.
Note the two footpads on either side.
The bucket is for flushing................
The end is near!
That headline had my head spinning.
Reminds me of Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein. “Let me out of here.”
Note to myself: If I move to a place that has leopards prowling around, I should keep my house doors closed, but just in case always provide a leopard escape in my bathroom ceiling.
Addition to Note to Myself: If there is an escape route through the ceiling for a leopard, it could be used as an entry route for a poisonous snake or python. And the toilet is a hole in the floor? I should seriously reconsider moving from this community into a community with tighter structures and fewer death threats from wild animals and reptiles...you know, someplace like Florida or Texas!
Inspector: Not so fast, Yakomoto. (trumpeters play a fanfare) Shut up! (fanfare stops) Allow me to introduce myself. I am Inspector Leopard of Scotland Yard, Special Fraud Film Director Squad.
Court: Leopard of the Yard!
Inspector: The same. Only more violent. (he demonstrates this by kneeing the copper in the balls) Right, Slit Eyes Yakomoto, I’m arresting you for the impersonation of Signor Luchino Visconti, famous Italian director of such movie classics as ‘Ossessione’ 1942, ‘La Tetra Trema’ 1948, and ‘Bellissima’ 1951 - a satisfying ironic slice-of-life drama. 1957 brought to the silver screen his ‘I Bianche Notre’ adapted by Dostoyevsky, a mannered and romantic melancholy of snow and mist and moonlit encounters on canal bridges. ‘Boccaccio 70’ followed five years later and the following year saw ‘The Leopard’! So impressed was I with this motion picture treatment of the Risorgimento that I went along to Somerset House and changed me own name to Leopard, preferring it to me original handle, ‘Panther’ (Aargh). I digress. 1969 saw ‘The Damned’, a Götterdämmerung epic of political and industrial shennanigans in good old Nazi Germany, starring Helmut Berger as a stinking transvestite what should have his face sawn off, the curvaceous Charlotte Rampling as a bit of tail, and the impeccable Dirk Bogarde as Von Essen. The association of the latter with Signor Visconti fructified with Dirk’s magnificent portrayal of the elderly poof what expires in Venice. And so, Yakomoto... blimey, he gone! Never mind. I’ll have you instead. (grabs the queen)
Queen What?
Inspector I haven’t got time to go chasing after him, there’s violence to be done.
that pooch will probably never chase pussy again...
“It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
Yep
Idiot who closed the door. Now they get to repair the ceiling and seek therapy for the poor dog who was likely too terrified to move a muscle.
I tried to lock a cougar in my bathroom one time...but she said that would cost extra.
