Break in at the cat food bag...

[Pam]

We have a thief on our hands. Yesterday I bought a bag of food for my boys and left it on the kitchen table for an hour or so. When I came back it looked like this. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid55/p3bd47b2bd6333aadcf4803ce28a0cd0e/fc7b30d0.jpg No one is talking, but it is reported that there were some stray orange hairs in the vicinity. Maybe I should enlist the kitties from "The Cat Who..." series to help solve this caper or maybe I already know and just don't want to admit I am living with a thief. :eek:

The investigators here recommend you put a BIG BOWL of Iams food in front of every cat. The one that does not eat is suspect:D

Great Idea!:D

[Christiansmommy]

Gabe did that once...he couldn't put the blame on anyone...since we know my husband didnt do it ;)

My cats are also guilty of doing that. Except they put the hole near the bottom of the bag and let all the food spill out onto the floor!

[Rachel]

Trevor you Smartee Cat. Even the thief at our house has never managed to break into an Iams bag, which are quite sturdy.

[Randi]

LOL! I go along with Barbara's idea. ;) Do you see any claws laying around? Or better, does any of your cats have paper sticking to their claws? No doubt that someone really likes this food. You made the right choice, Pam! :D

Now, now, you can't jump to conclusions and blame Trevor just because there's stray orange hairs. Maybe Andy did it and left the orange hairs to set Trevor up. ;) :D

Only a cat would be that eager for low fat food!

[Logan]

LOL!!!! Poor Trevor!!!! He's hungry, Mom!!! Very hungry!!! :D

Our Shrimp Boat was the same way. She was too heavy, but dieting was a horrible thing for her. She would beg, beg, beg and it broke my heart to have to withhold the food. :( Looks like Trevor and Shrimp Boat could have been partners in crime!!! :)

That's funny!

[RICHARD]

that reminds me of the time i accidentally tore open
bag of cat litter in front of the cashier at the store....:rolleyes:

the funniest part were the reactions of the people behind me....
they acted as if it was DIRTY litter......

[momoffuzzyfaces]

LOL!!!
IT WAS A MOUSE!!! A REALLY REALLY BIG MOUSE!!!:D

[Cataholic]

BELLA DID IT!!!

[Christiansmommy]

Could have been Bella or maybe Ripley...afterall his name starts with the word, RIP! :) But from experience...Trevor has broken into a box of Dunkin Donuts and smuggled out a donut too...sooo, i think signs point to Trevor...ehehehhe :)

Robyn

[Logan]

The only reason I didn't think of the dogs is because the bag was on the table. But, then again, you have shown us Ripley's picture, on the picnic table..........

hmmmmmm, perhaps Mr. Trevor isn't to blame after all!!!! :D

[Pam]

HeHe! You all have very good investigative minds! At the risk of accusing Trevor unjustly I had to work on the process of elimination. Andy could not be capable of such a dastardly deed. He eats to live, whereas Trevor lives to eat! Bella is certainly capable of doing very naughty things and I wouldn't rule her out except that I think she wouldn't have been able to make the almost surgical opening the the bag. :) Ripley also was considered a potential suspect, due to his picnic table adventure that Logan mentioned, however all of the chairs were pushed in so he had no easy route onto the table. Yes, I am afraid the finger is pointing very much in Trev's direction. He has been known also to grab a slice of roast beef off the table once when I was out of the room and then there was that cream donut... :rolleyes: I am afraid he is a shameless thief. :o :rolleyes:

[Miss Meow]

At least he ripped the bag open from the top, not the bottom ;)

It sounds VERY possible to me, and has checked whether any neighboring animals were visiting during the time in question?

[marysmerrycats]

LOL
it would appear there are more than one of those thieves roaming around...I have seen bags of food that look like that too, even with the bowl of the same food nearby!

[krazyaboutkatz]

LOL The things that cats will get into. :D So this kind of thing doesn't happen at my house, I put my cats food in two storage containers that lock very tightly. The storage containers keep the food fresh and they also keep out furry paws too. :) Pam, if you don't already have one you may need to buy one of these to help keep Trevor out of trouble. :)

[Pam]

Thanks KAK. Actually I keep their food in a sealed Rubbermaid container but my lazy old self had just not gotten around to pouring it in there. :) I also have a nice large tin for Bella's and Ripley's food that was free with my dog food purchase quite some time ago. Unfortunately any food that enters this house must be sealed! :D

[jenluckenbach]

I could not believe it when I heard it.........You left the cat food on the table?!?!?!! What were you thinking??? If having 13 cats has taught me anything it is to not even blink in the presence of unprotected food !!!HEE HEE
