The Case of the Hand Towel Chomper
In case you weren’t aware, we live amongst a bunch of shoe chewers, sponge stealers, cereal eaters, crust bandits, wall climbers, lamp breakers… the list goes on. Just when I think I’ve seen it all… when I think that there couldn’t possibly be another crime to solve… when I think the criminals around me have maybe even reformed. THIS happens:
I’ve seen similar holy towels, and even a t-shirt, lying around the house a few of times over the last couple months, but I dismissed these incidents as “husband faux-pas.” I figured Bobby just must have accidentally ripped the towel, or that he is just really bad a doing laundry. All plausible explanations. However, I began to suspect foul play after taking a closer look at the hole.
Bobby can’t possibly be that bad at laundry. I questioned him, and he was just as flummoxed as I was. “Looks like your classic Hand Towel Chomper case,” he said.
But who could it be? And why?!
We are reaching out to our furiends yet again, in hopes that you all may be able to help us solve this most bizarre crime.
The suspects:
Please share your suspicions on the comment box tip-line below. Anything helps.
Summer says
I totally go with Lucy – it looks like something that dogs do! If it’s a kitty, I’d really be surprised. The sugar gliders… aren’t they kind of small to make holes that big?
Brian Frum says
I think it was Caster, sorry pal. It looks like special tabby work to me.
LP says
We are going with Kylo Ren only because we like to blame everything on the youngest here (that would be Wilhelmina!) and Kylo Ren is the youngest (uncaged!) potential criminal in your household ;p
That is a sweet towel too 🙁
Tell your Mama, ours will drop her a line this afternoon 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Athena and Marie says
We think it’s Lucy 🙂
Purrs xx

The Swiss Cats says
We would say Jubilee and Sidney. That towel (and other textile stuff) is purrfect for their nest. Purrs
Carol Gegner says
I have to go with Jubilee and Sydney.
Caren Gittleman says
I also say Jubilee and Sidney, the kitties are innocent!!!!
Susan Friedland-Smith says
I think Sampson looks most innocent which probably means it was him.
Heather says
I think it was Lucy.. Always blame the dog.
Kitties Blue says
We know Caster is always one of the usual suspects, but this time we are going out on a limb and guessing Sophie! Astrid sends Sampy a bajillion and 12 kisses and all her love. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
The Island Cats says
We think it was the sugar babies. You just can’t trust them little things. 😉
Annie says
I almost forgot what I’m here to do. I was so distracted by all these cute pictures! I just love all these babies! Everyone looks a little too innocent, Sassy has the most innocent look so I’ll go with her (sorry, Sassy!).
Ellen Pilch says
You all look so innocent. I guess I would pick Caster.
mommakatandherbearcat says
I’m guessing Lucy. When Bear makes holes in fabric they look different … though technique might slightly vary 🙂
Sam says
I hate to point my claws in his direction but those SWEET INNOCENT kitty faces lead me to believe it’s the woofie in the house!
Hugs, Angel Sammy
Erin the cat (Princess) says
Definitely not Sampson, I may be biased on this, but I just can’t see a TUX having the spare time to do such things, what with all the paperwork from running the place, and mousing, and napping…

Rebecca says
I’m guessing Sampy was nursing on them and got a bit carried away.
Pipo/Minko/MrJackFreckles says
Kulo Ren?? Who knows…in the past in this den there would have been be no question, as we had a chewer…and a stealer of items he chewed, MOL!!
Minko chews, but only wires…and Pipo chews plastic…gads!
Lola The Rescued Cat says
Hmmm….. we were gonna say Lucy, but we think maybe a kitty made it look like a doggie did it. We’re going with Caster.
Three Chatty Cats says
Oh gosh, they all look so innocent to me! I can’t tell who did it!
