Smart little sods are Octopi, I recall reading somewhere of one at an aquarium that used to leave its tank at night, stroll across to the tank next door and help itself to the inhabitants, before strolling back across ready for reopening the next morning.

I think Inky escaped because in real life, he is " Al the Octopus " , the official mascot of the Detroit Red Wings Hockey team that is now in the playoffs.

Inky / Al just wanted to make sure he got a good seat for the upcoming playoffs.

“There’s always a chance Inky could come home to us.”

BS!! Not a chance.

Inky is home now, and stays out of a prison.
