Plucked from the Headlines: A Chicken Whodunnit

Breaking News
Facebook was all aflutter yesterday with news of a Toledo KFC chicken heist. According to the Toledo Police Department, *someone* made off with hundreds of family-sized-buckets worth of chicken from a local KFC. The unknown *suspect* or suspects broke into a refrigerated storage shed before they "flew the coop with $3,000 worth of chicken."  

This is the stuff of which blockbuster movies are made. "Chicken Impossible" perhaps? Coming to a big screen near you!

The news broke fast, making headlines across the country. ... or at least in Toledo.

Swirling Suspicions
Meanwhile back in Minneapolis, fans of the GLOGIRLY cat blog are connecting the dots. Waffles, an orange tabby with sticky paws and a well-documented chicken obsession, has been seen breaking into cupboards, cabinets and closets. It's true he often ends up locking himself inside, but he's been hard at work purr-fecting his tradecraft. 


So where WAS Waffles yesterday?
Sources indicate Glogirly was busy working on taxes yesterday and barely had time to feed Waffles and fellow Townhouse cat Katie. Yet Waffles' breath is rumored to smell like 11 secret herbs and spices. Coincidence? 


Waffles has declined to comment and is asking for privacy amidst the accusations and innuendos.  Privacy??? Since when?

    Is that a burp I hear? Is that the regurgitated odor of extra crunchy hanging in the air?

    Hmmm... I don't think just ONE kitty could have pulled this off! I think Waffles may have teamed up with a certain Florida cat who has been planning a chicken "emporium"...

    Just as we suspected... the headlines reached Australian shores this morning and Amber instantly pointed her orange paw at Waffles. Secretly, I think she wished she lived closer so she could have joined him on his chicken run!

    WAFFLES done it. There's no question who IS he guilty party. The question is...DID WAFFLES HAVE HELP? Agree with Summer that this may not have been done by one cat.

    Waffles, hopefully Katie can give you an alibi. Otherwise you might be looking at some jail time.

    Innocent until proven guilty Waffles. If there's no evidence they can't pin it on you.

    Holy Cats!! This happened seriously like two miles from my house!!! When I heard the news I had no idea it might be connected to a certain Orange Menace! And Leo had disappeared for several hours that day.. Now, he has a well known aversion to human food and especially chicken (probably because it was his nemesis, Star's fav) so the question is... Did he lure Waffles here to order to rid OUR city of his most hated substance? Na... That's crazy.. right? Excuse me, I have to go examine Leo's paws for left over batter traces..
