Cat Burglar Caught In The Act!

**NEWSFLASH**
San Francisco, December 14: After months of investigation and two near-misses, the Sherwood-Sharma Family Police Force (Mommy) announced today that they (she) had caught the elusive Cat Bowl Tipper. This crafty Badmashian (Rascal) had terrorized the household and made the cat (Mr. Idea), constantly seek water from other sources (namely the toilets). He has been identified as Rohan, aka the Younger Prince of Dolores Street (2 years younger than his Badmashian brother, the Original Prince of Dolores Street, aka Prince of Delhi), Cupcake, and the Cutest Rascal In The West.

But this evening, as Mommy was doing dishes (a rare occurrence when the other Officers, Daadi & Daddy are on-duty), she heard a noise and went around to investigate. What she found there surprised her: "I'd been suspecting a Small Bandit for some time now, because Mr. Idea was playing rough and he's started walking. But I didn't think the Cat Bowl Tipper would be so fast, or so cute when caught!"

When probed to explain how she did it, she continued "I knew The Cat Bowl Tipper had to be someone under three-feet high, because no one else would want to bother with banging Mr. Idea's food and water bowls. So when I heard the familiar 'thwack-thwack' of the plastic food bowl being Badmashianed and 'swish-bang-bang' of the ceramic water bowl being dumped, I knew the Badmashian was nearby. When I got to the scene, I found the Cat Bowl Tipper engaged in the act- grinning from ear to ear, and the cat waiting nearby."

According to Mommy, Mr. Idea was hoping for some food to drop as the Cat Bowl Tipper performed his rascally ways. None did this time, though it's unclear precisely how many extra bags of food Mr. Idea has gained as a result of the Bandit and his elusive older brother, the Prince of Delhi.

Though the photo doesn't show the Bandit actually tipping the cat bowls, it shows how fast the Cupcake leaves the scene of the crime, and Mommy is confident it will hold up as evidence in a Court of Sherwood-Sharma Law. As sole representative of the Sherwood-Sharma Family Police, she is seeking the maximum penalty of sleeping in his own bed all night.

Sentencing will occur later this month upon meeting the judge & jury again, the tough 3 Ds: Daddy, Daadi, & Deven. Cupcake is being hugged without bail until his trial.
