Tins of Cat Food

danslevent · 30-12-2014 8:22pm #1

I was on holidays for a week and got back yesterday evening. Today I went out to the garden to get coal from the shed and noticed two opened tins of cat food and one unopened tin. Also, the shed door was open and I always close it.

Absolutely nothing was taken but I feel a bit freaked out. I live in a housing estate and to get into our back garden you have to get through a side door. The tins were underneath a tree so from the angle they were at, no one could have really thrown them in.

Any ideas? They were tins that needed a tin opener to open them... so weird

Have you got a cat?

danslevent · 30-12-2014 8:24pm

Nope.

dmc17 · 30-12-2014 8:24pm

You have now!

Cats are squatting...flee....flee very fast

Were the opened tins empty?

A crow or a seagull could have carried them in and dropped them.

Cat burglar?

One of the opened tins was scraped clean and the other had about a third gone.

One of them was also dented as if someone had squeezed it with their hands to get the food out.

Hmmmm.

Very suspect.

What brand of cat food is it?

Can you see any cats?

Hardly, when one tin was completely unopened....

A homeless person took shelter for the night and this was their dinner.

I wonder why they didn't take the third tin with them though? Maybe they thought we were going to be gone for longer and were going to come back... surely there are cheaper tins than cat food though?

time to call the cat detectives

Register the nearest cat with a circus and then retire.

Tipperary.

No one said anything about Kilkenny?

some time back we had a pack of 6 tins of cat food left in the garden, left...they couldn't have fallen/been dropped as our garden is raised.

almost like someone got tired carrying them and was like "feck it,~leaves tins~ the cat can go hungry"

One of your neighbours may have got a cat for one of their kids for Xmas and hide it in your shed for a day or two until Santa arrived knowing you were away?

You could say he was feline hungry.

Are you in the right house?

Hhmm, I don't think so. Why would they so rudely leave the tins as well?

I think it is looking like it could have been a homeless person but I don't know..

Did you find Pyjamas there too??

If they're those cats from the milk ad with opposable thumbs, could be they opened them themselves and you just interrupted a little al fresco tete-a-tete.
