Kitties!
MomKat Trish here.
The other night, the kitchen was the scene of a Heinous Crime.
The Victim: an innocent roll of Paper Towels
Hum de dum dum dum...minding my own business...
Aaiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiip, shredshredshred

The Crime scene as I came upon it in the morning:
Exhibit "A"
Exhibit "B"
Exhibit "C"
The Crime Prevention Unit was called in.
A protective barrier was erected around the Paper Toweling.
Taking the Bite out of Crime!

Salem here...heh heh.
Mommy, that is the lamest thing I've ever seen.
Any bets on how long before I breach that flimsy edifice?
Happy Saturday!
XX The Paper Towel Slasher
That slasher is pretty mean. Poor paper towels!
ReplyDeleteWe are not lawyers, for cats or any other creature, however... we see that there was damage, but was there a crime committed? And if so, where is the proof that Salem was the perpetrator?
ReplyDeleteEven though we are cats, we can say firmly that no, we are not prejudiced... we just need more facts. Reasonable doubt, and all that legal stuff.
We think the CSI team needs to be called in.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to foil a serial paper towel murderer, such a flimsy barricade is not going to do it! What WILL work? Um, uh, I am not at liberty to reveal that...
ReplyDeleteP.S. When I saw the title to the post, I was hoping to see some lizard parts or something like that. I was a little bit disappointed!
We think those paper towels were asking for it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a friend of him.
ReplyDeleteHe look normal for me...Nice tuxedo and gentle man cat !
To have cruelty to the paper towels. I got no idea why he done that ?
What I see.. it's no motive !
But what I know is...His hair style look so cool and handsome today. Especially on top of the head !
Nicely done Salem. we have no doubt you can conquer the protective device.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have all those knives there what else can you expect? Salem is innocent.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, one roll of paper towels does not a crime spree make...neither does an entire case of paper towels. Salem, yoo forgot the first rule of being unruly...NEVER ADMIT GUILT.
ReplyDeleteThat paper roll got what it had coming!
ReplyDeleteWe think that looks like the work of night time moths. Nothing what so ever to do with kitty bites or claws. We think your mummy should keep it for next Christmas and use it as snowflake decorations prrrrrrrrrrrr :)
ReplyDeleteIt was George wot done it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are all innocent lovely kitties especially beautiful Salem!!! :-)
Take care

No proof as to whodunit.
ReplyDeleteThat barricade is definitely not enough to prevent a repeat.
No proof, no accusation ~ that's what we say.
ReplyDeletePS: Salem, yoo ROCK!
ReplyDeleteOh that is our very favorite thing to do. We open doors to get to the TP in the bathroom.Mom has to put everything where we cannot get to which there isn't much of. Good job whoever did that. Wonder why they are picking on you Salem?? Hope all of you have a super week end.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's impressive! Mummy says don't look too closely at those pictures that we might study how you did it!
ReplyDeletePurrrs, Keiko, Kenji, Pricilla & Yuji
Crime - what crime! Dat's a piece of art work. If you put it on Ebay, you'll make a ton of money selling it, you'll become famous, and your peeps will want you to create more.
ReplyDeleteHmm, it may be that the paper towels will need to go in a drawer overnight. To prevent them from self-destructing like that.
ReplyDeletehey, Mom says you have a wonderful Wusthof knife set there! ::Drool::
Hey, that's been know to happen from time to time around these parts too!
ReplyDeleteSalem...GOOD narrative! I KNOW that didn't mean YOU had ANYTHING at ALL to do with it. Not at all. You would never attack an innocent roll of towels in the dark of night when the towels had nothing to defend themselves with. Not you, Salem. You just said that to your mommy to deflect scrutiny from someone else..the Mysterious Towel Slaughterer. We know he comes in the night to slay all unprotected towels. It wasn't you--no no no. You simply wanted the ugly incident to end..that's why you suggested you did it, knowing full well no one could believe you capable of such an act.
ReplyDelete(whew...did I get you out of that one??)
xox
Casper had several paper towel slashings (and toilet paper too) on his record when he was younger but he has been straight the last couple of years. I don't know if the barrier you've created will stop the culprit; we used to put out a decoy roll with only one or two sheets attached. This was of course so boring that Casper lost interest after a while :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're sure you will work out a cunning plan Salem and dig under the obstacles to finish off that kitchen towel. Don't they feel lovely when your claws sink through the paper - well we would imagine it would feel lovely - not that we know - we've never fought with one of course!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
ps paper hankies are ok but a very poor second best don't you think??
Salem, don't admit to anything. There was no proof. I mean how does your mom know that one of us CB kitties (I do actually have a rap sheet a mile long when it comes to shredding paper)...didn't teleport over in the middle of the night and have a go at the paper towels. I mean really....
ReplyDeleteWhen she asks we'll all say we did it. Then what's she gonna do. Stop using paper towels? I think not.
Salem, you are very talented. That is the prettiest artwork we have seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteWould you tell Sweet Pea that there is plenty of room for two in our new cube if she would like to teleport over.
Flynn
Salem, you are too smug. You're picture says it all! My bets are on you that you will once again slash the paper towels.
ReplyDeleteWe don't believe any kitteh could be responsible for such a thing! ( and if they were, they would have had a good reason. Not to mention a great time doing it. )
ReplyDeleteLook how sweet Salem looks. I think he uncovered a plot, by the towels to over-through the fambily. He had to take acshun! I sais Salem is a HERO!
ReplyDeleteSalem admit to nothing until she can prove it conclusively like catching you in the act.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been done by any on of a dozen other suspects.
Oh goodness, what a brutal crime! Those poor innocent paper towels. I hope the perp is brought to justice and that the new towels stay safe!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got yourself an Al Catpone there...Mmmm..
ReplyDeleteFunny post!
Hugs,
Tom
I think perhaps Salem was trying to be helpful in the interests of being environmentally concerned. We always buy the paper towels with the smaller sheets..so perhaps this was the intent!
ReplyDeleteYeah, good luck with that. A slasher with a purpose in the middle of the night will overcome just about anything. . .! (from Pisi & Squeak)
ReplyDeleteSalem that look on your face is BEYOND incriminating!!!! lol!!! Did any one take paw prints? If not, you are innocent until proven guilty!
ReplyDeleteSalem, it's only a matter of time till your guilty face is plastered on walls in post offices throughout the land. Not a paper towel in America will be safe till you are in custody.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, thanks for the giggle!! :) The paper towel slasher has been to my house too!
ReplyDeleteI have the same crime committed here at my house, too! Not just paper towel slasher, but also bathroom tissue slasher is in the house too. The barrier is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteSalem
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I like to give a good shred to the toilet paper.
purrs
xoxoxox
*kitty kisses*
~Gracie
I think you have been framed Salem and forced to take the blame! I think the detective should have a closer look at your daddy!
ReplyDeleteBut why does your mom think it was you, Salem? It coulda been the boogie monster!
ReplyDelete*whipsers* good job on your paper towel destruction, though!
Dear Fav Baker's Dozen...it has been my experience in my 8 years of life that there are very very evild things lurking in paper towel rolls....good to know you all took care of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you b-day wishes for the old lady of the house
MOL MADI
Salem, looks like you had a good ol' time!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Humans think they can stop us from having fun!! But, Salem, we know that stuff can't stop you from getting to those paper towels!! I, myself, have been known to unroll and shred the whole roll of paper towels...and the toilet paper too....
ReplyDeleteErnie
To Momcat: Unfortunately, the toof really needs to stay in the Human's head because she hadded 'nuthur toof pulled a while ago, and now they want to use the current Very Bad Toof as one side of an anchor to make a bridge. KA-CHING!
ReplyDeleteThe Human has the Very Bad teef, something she inherited from her parents who had many fine qualities but Good Teef were not among them.
Sigh.
She thanks you for your sympathetic thoughts, specially for tossing over the Vicodin & the Rum (happily, she does have her own supply of those things right now, MOL!) And "Auntie-By-Ottikks" also, whatever they are.
Nice work Salem! I laugh in the face of their barrier.
ReplyDeleteMy word verification was ravasac
Maybe Salem anad CocoBean should live together in bliss with a case of paper towels!
ReplyDelete--JB
Miss Salem, I confess that I can't resist a roll of paper towels. Since it is the only bad thing I have ever done in 15 years, no charges are ever brought against me. And the paper towels are not offered much extra protection. Well, that's more on account of my mom is lazy and often forgets to put them away. :)
ReplyDeleteYour friend, Fuzzy
I am infamous for TP destruction. I rip up magazines, too!
ReplyDeleteIza
Ha HA we'll see how long it lasts!
ReplyDeleteWe don't believe any of the kitties at the lounge committed this crime. We think it was one of the humans sleep walking, or sleep slashing as it were.
