Standing flanked by two scratching posts she speaks.

"The rumors that I have punched tiny holes with my pointy little teeth in the bag of cat treats are nothing but terrible lies. I know nothing of those holes. I have never seen them. I do not know where they came from. Thank you America.

No you may not use your keyboard."

OK fine. The holes, which are spaced like cat teeth are just... supernatural I guess.

Before buying in pots, all my mayonnaise tubes had holes.
The last tube they punctured contained harissa paste. This was, they concluded, worse than taking that bite out of the cactus.

They put up a surveillance camera and found that the octopus was climbing out of its tank at night and raiding the treats. The octopus also pled not guilty.

I kinda freaked out, and the ruckus woke my wife up and we turned on the lights to investigate.

Our cat had apparently found in the pantry a plastic pouch roughly identical to the one her treats came in, and dragged it to our bedroom and into bed, where she ripped it open to feast.

It was a bag of raisins. She was no happier about this than we were.
