Wayne Newton's wallaby escaped from the performer's home Thursday morning, leading police, animal control officers and an urban cowboy on a two-mile chase through south Las Vegas.

Newton's publicist, Tricia McCrone, said investigators were trying to determine how Priscilla got out of the compound.

Just a guess, mind you ... but perhaps she jumped out?

Hmmmm... so that is what all the commotion was about...
I was wondering why my cat was acting so agitated the other morning...
I guess she was just upset that she missed out on the opportunity of hitting "The Big One".
