Tins of Cat Food

    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 :(

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

    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?

    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?

    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?

    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..

    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.

    You need to stand at the gate to the garden and slowly view all the garden for felines.

    After the cat scan, all will become clear......:P

    Maybe the tree is suspicious? What type of tree was it, why were the tins underneath it?

    This is all very strange. Why would the shed door be open but the catfood is not in the shed?

    There's no pawsible explanation but it certainly looks like you could be the underdog in this situation.

    Neighbopurs cat may have taken refuge under your shed and neighbour opened shed to check inside foro a way to get the cat out before getting kittys favourite food to coax the sly feline from its hideaway.
