This week there was a mystery. A missing chorizo and a detective determined to find the kitty who ate it.
Did you figure out which kitty did it?
Keep reading and let’s figure it out together!

The Reveal (as narrated by Monday kitty P.E.)
The call came out of nowhere.
They say there’s no rest for the wicked—I must be the wickedest kitty out there. Just thirteen hours of sleep. That should be illegal.
The caller’s voice was anguished. The type of anguish that was only reserved for one type of loss: food was stolen.
That type of greed sickens me.
A group of kitties planned a carne asada. The menu was stacked: steak, chicken fajitas, tacos and the highlight of the afternoon: artisan chorizo.
The gathering had been a success until the last chorizo was on the grill… and then it wasn’t.
Gone. Like a lover at sunrise.
I had my case:
A missing chorizo. A carne asada. Five suspects with five alibis.
Fortunately, this wasn’t my first rodeo.
When you’ve done this job for as long as I have, you learn to take the alibis like you take your fries—with a few grains of salt.
What matters is the cold, hard facts:
The fence kitty had deli meat breath—not chorizo.
The music lover was under the table—too far from the grill.
The conspiracy theorist was on the roof—whiskers too clean for someone near a grill.
The napping champion was inside—three chicken strips and a round belly tell no lies.
That left one kitty.
Near the grill. Greasy paws. A blog about artisan food.
A kitty who said they never got a chance to try the chorizo.
A kitty whose paws suggested otherwise.
My partner asks me how I can be so certain. Elemencatty, my dear Sunday kitty—the food blogger had a blog to write and there was only one chorizo left. You can’t let your audience down by not reviewing the highlight of the carne asada.
When confronted with the hard evidence, Tuesday kitty accepted it.
“Five stars. Would steal again.”
The host of the party—the same kitty who called me reached a settlement with Tuesday kitty. I hear there’s an agreement to get more chorizo.
They say you can get away with anything when you’re a cat.
I must have missed the memo.
Some kitties get chorizo, I can’t even get my share of sixteen hours of sleep.
That’s the way of this city.
Crime doesn’t sleep here.
Neither do I.
