Sir, it’s your own fault. You warmed the chair, and then you got up and walked away. What else did you expect?

Off ! Off Furred Fiend , Off I say !

Yes officer. Looks like Garfield

“If you’ll come in for a moment, I can point him out to you.”

Stole? But chair is still there. It not stealing if possession not taken away. It may be encroachment but no stealing.

Time to buy another chair.

I was thinking it was a different chair and it was Ninja Sloth.

There are ways to get the fluffy feline off the chair. Ever hear of a can opener?

It was a cat burglar!

She is ginger and fluffy.

The perp is still here…

I’d gladly give my cat my chair if he’d stay off my desk while I’m working.

Go ahead and sit down. It’ s just a fur covered whoopy cushion.

Obviously a cat burglar!

Oh fur cryin’ out loud, just tip the couch forward!

Well, let me see officer, he was carrying a chair…

No, but I got the license number
