The Case of the Serial Shoe Eater: Case Closed
Last Friday, we presented you all with a mysterious case that we needed your help in solving – The Case of the Serial Shoe Eater. Somekitty has been brazenly leaving chewed up shoes lying around the house, with no regard to type or location. This has been an ongoing case, as we have found chewed up shoes on several other past occasions, but it would seem as though the serial perpetrator has recently escalated from an occasional chewer to a spree chewer. Something must be done to stop this criminal!!!
Good news is we were able to solve the case. But before we reveal the culprit, we’re going to do a quick recap…

The Verdict
After a few late night stake outs, bite mark identification tests, and the help of our furiends, we were able to determine that the hardened criminal at work here has been…
SOPHIE!!!
That’s right, folks – sweet and not-so-innocent Sophie. She was an unlikely suspect, as she has never been implicated in a KCC mystery crime before (that we know of), yet she is as guilty as they come this time!
Many of you guessed that Caster was the guilty kitty. A good guess, as he has been found guilty in four past crimes. He may be a Ramen noodle eater, a door-frame climber, a bathroom mess-maker, and a cereal stealer, but a shoe eater he is not.
ConCATulations to the first right guesser – Sophie’s foster mom, Rebecca. This is what she had to say regarding the incident: “Sophie was a chewer as a wee tyke, I’m guessing she’s still up to those tricks!” Indeed she is!
Honorable mention goes to Becca C. and LP of Critters in the Cottage, both of whom guessed Sophie as well.
You all have earned the KCC Super Sleuth Badge!
Stay tuned for the next mysterious episode!
We suspected it was Sophie. Princeton thinks she would make an excellent apprentice here at Angel Prancer Pie. MOL!
SOPHIE!?!? Why, she looks almost as innocent as I do!
Okay, I guess I don’t look SO innocent. But at least I don’t chew on shoes.
oh Miss Sophie…..did you get a time out for your badness?? 🙂
I was wondering if the case had been solved. You need atrail cam to catch them in action 🙂

Hugs, sammy
OMC Not Sophie? Sweet Little innocent Sophie? MOL

Dezi and Lexi
I wouldn’t have guessed it was you sweet Sophie!
Wow, we considered Sophie, but thought it not possible of this sweet darling. Possibly LP found out first hand when you all bunked together at BlogPaws. Any who…another mystery solved. Concats to the right guessers. Will all the shoes be put away in the closet now? Astrid is napping in her bowl but sends kitty kisses to Sampy for every tooth mark in every shoe around the world. Love and hugs to all. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
I knew it had ti be Sophie. We had a calico that loved to chew on shoes. She ruined 4-5 pairs of Moms shoes. Glad you found out who the guilty party was, so no more shoes were eaten.
No way! We still don’t believe that sweet little face is a shoe chewer!
Nope. Sorry. It wasn’t Sophie. That definitely looks like Ernie’s teefmarks. He is one huge shoe chewer…much to the mom’s dismay.
Sophie?! Really? We would have never, ever guessed! 🙂
oh sweet Sophie!! (love that photo of her!) I also love that her foster Mom KNEW exactly who did it!
Are you sure she was framed? She looks so sweet and innocent. 🙂
That photo is Sooooo cute!! We knew it was you Papi! Good job sweetie 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
We don’t believe it! Nope! Can’t be sweet little Sophie! No way! She was framed!
Ha ha ha Sophie looks like *such* a hardened criminal.
