“Before You aAccuse Me” – The tale (tail) of Owen and the credit card.

I recently lost one of my credit cards while at home. The wallet was missing too. A search was undertaken though with no results.

Suddenly,, it was noticed that my wallet was next to Owen on the dog bed. This fact appeared to be circumstantial evidence of his theft. The wallet was missing one credit card and Owen became the suspect of criminal mischief.

Owen with the circumstantial evidence of theft.

Shortly, the missing (and suspected eaten) credit card was located behind the cushion of the sofa where I had seemingly dropped it.

The charges against Owen were promptly dismissed.

In the words of the Checker Records song of 1958 by Bo Diddley…

“Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself”

  1. lol!! Probably. But I only know 3 words in cat language, so I couldn’t have deciphered her kitty map. And you know cats. Once they claim something, they don’t like to share. 🤣

  3. It’s usually the dogs….that’s why they’re always the first suspects. They’ve got a bad rap sheet!

  4. Amazingly funny story about your cat. I wonder whether there was a treasure map which marked the spot under your sofa. :-)

  5. How funny!!! Still, you can never underestimate the sticky paws of our critters. Years ago when we lived in our condo, I thought I had misplaced one of my bras. (You know how things seem to go into the dryer and never come out like the eternally missing sock…lol!). So I thought it had fallen through the mysterious black hole lurking in the dryer. Nope. Years later when we were moving to our current house, I I was vacuuming the carpet after the movers had emptied the living room of all the furniture, and I noticed a mysterious lump under the carpet where the sofa had been. Yup. It was my missing bra. One of my cats had stolen it, crawled under the sofa, clawed up the edge of the carpet, and stuffed it under there like buried treasure. Can you imagine? What a hoot!!!! 🤣
