Cat Burglar

For over a week, we've had an intruder in the garage. The ripped garbage bag tipped us off. We suspected a possum, so John set the Have-a-Heart trap. However, the slice of bread he used for bait didn't tempt the intruder. The intruder prefered licking the dog bowl clean and polishing off any cat food I'd left for our resident cats.

A week ago, we set up one of our game cameras and got some pictures of the intruder. Obviously, despite its ability to rip open garbage bags, the intruder is no possum:


For a week the cat and dog dishes have been licked clean. And the garage litter box had obviously been used. Last night we set the camera again. The same critter was still there:



And it was busy in the wee hours of this morning:


While we close the garage at night (to prevent critters from coming in—a ploy that obviously hasn't worked), the garage is open from early morning to almost dark. Why hasn't this kitty left?

Anyhow, if this little kitty is yours, please come reclaim it.
