Suspect in Custody (Humor)

We read about all sorts of heinous crimes these days, but never expect them to happen close to home...or in our homes.  This morning, I woke to see a shocking sight.  Someone or something had conducted a midnight raid on Bethlehem...or our small representation of same.  All of the sheep were scattered...were the shepherds sleeping on the job?  One camel was down on his side.  Be prepared for the shocking nature of this attack before viewing the photo:

 

 

The authorities have a suspect in custody.  The search for this outlaw was brief and the investigation is ongoing.  None of the victims is talking and neither is the suspect.  Lacking evidence, it's a tough case to prove.  Print dusting and fiber analysis have revealed paw prints and cat fur, but the case is circumstantial, at best.

 

Does this look like the face of a criminal?

 

 

Anyone having information about this crime is asked to post a comment below.  Officers will be standing by to receive and follow up on all tips.

The face is adorable.
Mary Ann Slavcheff Jan 5, 2012, 6:51pm UTC
He has to be innocent.
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 7:03pm UTC
Appearances can be deceiving, Mary Ann:)
Kevin E. Jan 5, 2012, 6:56pm UTC
Obviously a cat burglar!
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 7:04pm UTC
Indeed, Kevin. The whole thing appears to be a Jack attack!
Kevin E. Jan 5, 2012, 7:15pm UTC
At least it wasn't a catastrophe Jan!Let us paws and consider the facts ma'am!
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 8:11pm UTC
LOL.
Heather Reid Jan 5, 2012, 7:22pm UTC
Haha, very cute :)
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 8:10pm UTC
He's cute, but guilty!
Heidi S. Jan 5, 2012, 7:31pm UTC
I think he should be forgiven ;)
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 8:10pm UTC
Yes, of course!

Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 8:11pm UTC
Appearances are deceiving!

Thank you for posting this in Photo Enhancers.

Glad you like it. It was fun.
Renita P. Jan 5, 2012, 10:42pm UTC
ROFL! That was cute
Here with ATWS/January
Jan S. Jan 5, 2012, 11:24pm UTC
Thanks, Renita. Do you think he is guilty?
Dennis Gilman Jan 5, 2012, 11:33pm UTC
Too cute. I'd let the criminal off with an admonition.
Jan S. Jan 6, 2012, 3:59am UTC
Me, too, Dennis. I can't be mad at him with that cute face!
Rachel D. Jan 5, 2012, 11:33pm UTC
Cute. But with an innocent face like that, you'll never get a jury conviction! LOL
Jan S. Jan 6, 2012, 4:00am UTC
True, Rachel. He is quite the charmer!
Marilyn M. Jan 5, 2012, 11:54pm UTC
Looks guilty to me. (I have 2 cats and I've learned to tell.)
Jan S. Jan 6, 2012, 4:01am UTC
Yep, he's guilty all right. Had he raided the scene last week, there would have been some doubt as we had 3 cats visiting for the holidays.
Jean R B. Jan 6, 2012, 4:55am UTC
Did someone place catnip in and around the scene? Looks like someone deliberately drugged the cat to do this heinous crime.
Jan S. Jan 7, 2012, 1:00am UTC
Entrapment! I never thought to check for catnip. Who would do something so devious?
J. Reid Jan 6, 2012, 7:33am UTC
What a quandary, cute. Smiles...
Jan S. Jan 7, 2012, 1:00am UTC
indeed!
Phillip DeNise Jan 6, 2012, 11:01am UTC
This suspect does not look REPENTANT[a few more HAIL MARY's perhaps; kitties love BEADS].

A truly GREAT post; made my day!
Jan S. Jan 7, 2012, 1:01am UTC
Prayers could be tricky as cats can't kneel, but we will consider lenience.
Phillip DeNise Jan 7, 2012, 8:04am UTC
Camels kneel nicely, but must be stripped of their burden before crawling through the 'Eye of the Needle[a minuscule GATE used to enter the City(Jerusalem) after dark, when the main gates have been secured].'
Carrie Marie P. Jan 6, 2012, 11:48am UTC
What a sweet post! :) Kitty-cats can be so naughty! :P
Jan S. Jan 7, 2012, 1:01am UTC
I'm surprised he left it alone for so long.
DIANE D. Jan 6, 2012, 4:19pm UTC
Cute post.
Jan S. Jan 7, 2012, 1:01am UTC
Thanks, Diane!
Nichole D. Jan 6, 2012, 8:01pm UTC

Thanks, Nichole. He is a cutie...with such an innocent face!
Donald M. Jan 7, 2012, 12:50pm UTC
