Cat Detective

The Cat

i am a cat, i have no name nor do i have an owner. i was doing my nightly walks when i passed a familiar store, the store was open after hours. then i realized. it was the store with the nice owner who feeds me, it was suspicious how its still open. i walked into the front door, it was unlocked, very suspicious, then i heard a scream from the room behind the counter, it sounded like the nice owner of this story. i was scared, i ran and hid in one of the open cupboards in fear, hoping the nice owner was ok and it was just a mouse that scared her. then i heard footsteps and a window closing, i felt brave enough to come out of my hiding place, looking around carefully at my surroundings, my sense tells me there's danger nearby, my position was ready to fight off whatever it is. i walked over to the door behind the counter, it was opened. i was scared, smelling the strong smell of blood, i walked in. i saw the body of the kind owner, walking over i see that her body is not moving. i tapped her body, mewing in concern. she did not move, i kept mewing tapping her unmoving body with my paws. then i saw it, blood, blood on her body. I froze mewling, still tapping her body with my paw, hoping she was not gone yet, but of course I was too late to save her. half an hour later the door opened fully revealing what seemed to be two police officers and a detective, I was still tapping the woman's body while mewling.

I looked at the detective, his face looked confused as he looked at me. "What's a cat doing in here?" the detective asked the two policemen as they just shrugged their shoulders. the detective crouched down to me and gave me his hand as he spoke "Hey kitty what are you doing here?" his voice was soft as he spoke to me as I sniffed his hand and after I felt that he wasn't a bad person, I let him pet me. He smiled at me, petting me quietly so as not to scare me. "what a nice cat you are" he said, his hands kept stroking my head, suddenly he picked me up and held me. he tried to take me out of the room but i kept getting in because i am a cat and i am stubborn the man kept trying to take me out, then after a few minutes he gave up and let me in. "Stubborn cat, aren't you? Do you know anything about this little cat?" the man said as he crouched down to me. The officers looked at the detective with a sigh. "Detective Nakahara, you do know that cats can't understand you," one of the officers said as he looked around the room for evidence. "Well, the cat might know something," the detective muttered as my ears perked up, my legs involuntarily went to the windows, the detective was surprised by my actions as he followed me to a certain window.

There was a dirty shoe print at the bottom of the window and fingerprints, there was a letter hanging near the window and it had dirt on it, the detective took his gloved hand and carefully opened the letter, it was a letter to the shop owner. it seemed to be a stalker or maybe a jealous ex, the detective called for the police officers as they inspected the letter. They suspected the killer to be someone the owner knew, I just sat there looking at the three people, then the detective picked me up and looked at me with a happy face. "Kitten, can you show us some more evidence?" he said putting me down, unexpectedly my legs carried my body to a table in the corner of the room and jumped up on it nudging a vase, it had another letter attached to it. the detective gave a small smile, took the letter and opened it to reveal another hidden clue. the police officers looked confused, they did not think the cat could understand human language.

the letter had the name of the writer on it 'lionel' another strong clue to the police officers and detective. i could see how they all felt happy, confused and suprised. it was written all over their faces the evidence linked back to someone who has been a suspect to multiple murders, though i just sat calmly looking at their faces as the detective picked me up and carried me out as the two police officers followed. after walking out, we are all now in the police car with the detective and i sitting in the back and the two police officers sitting in front with one of them driving, i did not know where we were going. a minute later the car stopped, the detective opened the car door and and put me on his shoulders. we were infront of the house, a creepy looking house, the police officers knocked on the door there was no answer and after several knocks they had no other choice. The officers broke down the door holding their guns in their hands, i just sat on the detectives shoulder as he and i walked in together. we walked into the living room to see a man sitting on the couch with a sad look on his face as the officers handcuffed the man saying "you are under arrest for the suspected murder of three women." the man stood up and walked with the officers as he was put into the car without saying a word.

One of the officers looked at me as he stroked my head with a smile, "thank you for helping you smart cat. and thank you as well for your help detective," he said to me and the detective, the detective had moved me and held me in his arms as he nodded to the officer, "its no problem sir, its my job and well its time we all went home," the detective said as I played with his tie, the police officer chuckled as he got into the car. "good day to you detective!" the officer's voice called out as the car drove away, probably back to the police station. the detective looked at me as he held me up "im taking you in, you will live in my house now cat" he said happiness lacing his voice holding me up in the air, the detective held me as if he was holding his own child, it made me feel warm and happy, it made me feel safe in his arms.

The detective sighed in relief as he looked at me in his arms. "let's go home shall we my smart cat" i meowed as he chuckled and walked off somewhere with me in his arms. after an hour of walking we finally arrived at a house, the detective opened the front door with his keys, he went inside and put me down and closed the door again, he took off his coat and walked into the living room. as usual i followed him as he sat down on one of the chairs, then i sat on his lap. he chuckled and stroked my fur. It was an eventful day for me, I had lost someone who cared for me and then gained someone who cared for me even more. This was just the beginning of my eventful life as a detective's new cat, I hope I can stay with him until the day I die.
