Yawning, shuffling, noticing the avocado on the floor.
Stretching, recalling, confirming that I left it on the counter last night.
I look at the cat. I look at the boyfriend. They look at each other.
The cat saunters out.
We all know.
This week’s 42-word flash-anything prompt is: Who dunnit? Pour yourself a tall glass of the best drink in existence and click above to check out the challenge!

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Ah, sometimes the guilty seem so innocent (or vice versa)! Your kitty looks so much like my Charlie and as innocent as Charlie usually looks. . .well, . . .you know! 😀
lol. Cats have got a lot to answer for this week. 🙂
Haha that they do! I wasn’t expecting so many cat posts, but we all clearly have mischievous felines!
Oi vey.. Now you have me more curious 😀

If it rolls, it must be a cat toy. Cute story.
Good point, I hadn’t taken that rule into account. Thanks!
Clever and cute!
Thank you!
Oh god!! I had this cat when I was a kid who would poise himself above something of value (especially if he perceived himself neglected) and crouch there, waiting for me to look. I usually said something idiotic like “Knock it off”. And he did. Every single time. He knocked off vases and stuffed animals, snow globes and musical instruments. And then he hopped down and rubbed against my legs in a provocative way that suggested that next time things would be worse if the cat didn’t get some attention.
WOW, sounds like quite the manipulator!
The cat was framed! 🙂 I almost wrote about my cats, who are pretty good about playing innocent. They are the perfect subjects for a whodunnit. Thanks for linking up with the gargleblaster!
Funny–I liked the moment when they looked at each other.
Thanks, Marcy!
Ha! Those staccato sentences work so well for you here! Well done.
Thank you!
Cats are pretty sneaky creatures. I love the picture you put with this post.
Damn animals can’t be trusted. I have a dog that’s sneakier than a criminal. Great job.
They’re great friends but terrible roommates. Thank you!
Always the case. I had a bad experience with that too.
Lol. Good one.
Thanks, Paul!
Hmmm… usually I’d say when a cat was involved it’s probably the cat, but this time, it seems the cat tells a different story (and cats own up to their mischievousness!)
Hehe. I’m still leaning toward cat. She has more of an interest in knocking stuff off counters than boyfriend does. Sometimes she’ll knock something over and then meow at me like it’s my fault.
This was cute
Thanks!
Yes. Cat’s don’t lie. I loved this.
Thank you! They don’t have to lie – they just don’t give a shit.
Hahahaha! Sometimes I like cats better than people : )
I usually prefer animals to people, too. Especially family.
How very cute-I bet it was the cat-they are very devious 😉
Thanks! I am almost certain it was the cat.
😀
Oh that IS clever, very subtle. Thanks for sharing this little gem. Jenni
Thanks, Jenni!
ha cute!! I wouldn’t know if it would be the cat or my kids.
Thanks! I can’t imagine having more little cyclones running around here. Do your kids try to blame the cat? Boyfriend does that sometimes.
oh very good – I’ll be posting soon but I didn’t answer the question
Thanks! There are so many ways you can go with every prompt; this one just came naturally because it happened over the weekend!
those darn boyfriends! 😉
Haha you never can trust them to stay off the counters.
We have a kitten and a toddler in the house at the moment. It can be a little difficult at times to accurately attribute all the random weirdness. 🙂
I bet! I am definitely not ready for another potential culprit in the house. Especially one that can talk back in the same language.
