Whenever the MC thinks, suspects, is suspicious or even thinks of anything, it happens to be true.
* For the love of god, unreliable narrators are great! Having the MC's trust be betrayed and this betrayal not being obvious is cool (when set up properly). Having your characters jump to conclusions is a solid flaw. A leader can be paranoid that everyone is out to get them, the MC secretly murdered someone and is now projecting their guilt onto other cats, the deputy MC suspects cats of breaking the code in order to punish them, abusing their power for the thrill of it.
If you're having your MC be clueless though, please make the "true culprit" not obvious. And don't make the false culprit be so obviously guilty. I've been watching Ace Attorney and when everything initially points to your defendant, you know it can't be them.However, at the same time, having your MC's suspicions be true can also be a good story. The struggle there can be convincing others that a cat is evil, all while avoiding the ire of that cat.
