Florida, here I come!

Final Entry December 9th-11:01pm

Yet another case solved by my magnificent detective skills. All is now right with the world now that Jerry the mouse has been discovered and successfully recooperating in the hospital. Ironically, the case will go no furthur because Jerry the mouse, finally able to speak, has decided not to press any charges against the young Tyke. After hearing the news I personally decided to go down there and ask Jerry why he decided on this path. When he told me he did not have enough money to pay for the lawyer I did not quite understand because he is a huge movie star. However, when I visited the crime scene one last time to clear the tape, I found a closet full of cheese, and all the parts seemed to connect.

Now that this case is finally over, I am going to officially turn in my badge and resign from the business of detective work. After I finished this case I was feeling very confident in myself, however, the next case that came to my doorstep was the case of Mojo Jo Jo vs. the Power Puff Girls and I knew right then and there, I was done. When cartoon characters are the only clients I can get and now I am faced with a giant evil monkey vs. three little girls, I know it is time for Florida. Therefore, I bid thee good day and if you need me, please do not call me because I will not answer. Thank you and good night.

Tom+Jerry=Friends

Of course everyone is loving the fact that the little mouse will return home soon. Honestly, I can’t say that I’m not excited as well. I mean, since he went missing, I’ve had nothing to do all day. I tried cleaning myself, playing with yarn, napping, and more, but those only lasted for about an hour. I have but one thing to say to Tyke: good job. I don’t say this because of the fact that he buried the mouse alive and started this whole crime scene, but I sincerely owe a “congrats” to him for being able to successfully capture Jerry: something I have not been able to do all my life. Also, I must say to Spike that he has not to worry. When Jerry returns, I might give a little “hello, cheese-face” to the mouse, and of course I will continue tormenting him after about 24 hours. However, I have no intention of hurting him. Like I said before, deep down I sort of love the little guy. What would I do in life without him?

I am so happy that my cousin, Jerry is alive and breathing but what am I to do to Tyke.  I can’t do anything to that cute little bugger I am a tuff guy but I just can’t pick on little kids.  It is his father turn to teach him, as my father taught me.  I guess all I can do is to be happy that my cousin is alive.  Tons of Jerry’s friends and fans come in and out to see him it is an amazing thing I just can’t get over that such a tiny mouse made such a difference in so many people’s life.   So today I joined my friend Kimbo Slice on his team of EliteXC for mixed martial arts fighting and also joined his security guard company which works for Reality Kings a pornographic site.  I hope to change many people’s lives working for these companies.  The only problem I see is with the fighting I will be doing is that it will be hard to find someone in my weight class of 8lbs.  I will be amazing at it though because I have a black belt, in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and one in shoot wrestling. Thanks to Jerry my life has been turned around I am now planning on shaping up and not getting into random fights, or drift from job to job. The pornographic site gets thousands of hits a day I will be making a lot of money doing both and it will be a great way to make money.  I am upset with what happened but I am glad of the outcome. When Jerry gets out of the hospital I will book a flight to Miami and meet who I will be working for and when my first fight is. 

Now Everything Makes Sense...

Wow...my own son...I never thought I would see the day. I look back and thought of all the time I've spent with Jerry and all the time I didn't spend with my own pup. This explains his outlandish and quite bully-ish behavior in school. The principal, Mr. S. Doo, had called me several times over the past few weeks that he had been "acting out". Mr. Doo said he had been "marking his territory" all over the school grounds and biting his fellow classmates. It didn't make any sense at the time, why my little Tyke would be acting in such a manner. But now, it's all clear...
I confronted my boy last night about the matter, and it was one of the most dreary conversations I had ever had. I asked him why he did it, and the only response he could give me was that he just couldn't take it anymore. He just had to bury something. Apparently, just chasing his tail and burying random household items just didn't satisfy him anymore.
I want to apologize for my son's actions and to his family and friends. Tom, I owe you a special apology for blaming you this whole way through. I'm sorry...But seriously, if I catch you going after Jerry one more time, I'mma bury you in the backyard, and you ain't leavin' unless it's in a bodybag.
Once again...terribly sorry, Jerry...

Jerry the Mouse: FOUND BURIED ALIVE

Cat&Mouse Today

December 8, 2008- The little brown mouse, known as Jerry, has been found buried alive in the backyard of his and his friend Tom’s house. The detective who has been working on the case made the discovery of a small print in the backyard. Next to this print, less than one foot of dirt, was the victim. Jerry was immediately flown to Cheddar Hospital, were he is still currently located, with severe dehydration and a concussion. Hospital workers have said Jerry’s health is improving day by day, and they are looking at dismissing him by the end of the week. Muscles, Jerry’s cousin, was found at the hospital. Muscles expressed great relief as he stated, “I am so relieved that my cousin is alive. I will be by his side till he leaves the hospital.” The public expressed their excitement in hearing about the finding of Jerry. Many flowers and balloons were sent from all over the country to the hospital.
The detective has finally agreed to speak with Cat&Mouse Today. She has exclaimed, “Through my own detective work I’ve figured out who the true suspect is. I am proud to say that is neither of the suspects the public has been accusing.” Due to the small dog print found next to were Jerry was buried, and more evidence, the bull dog, Spike’s little son, Tyke is now being accused of the attempted murder of Jerry the mouse. The reason behind this has not been announced, but rumors from anonymous sources have been saying that maybe Tyke was jealous over his father’s love and friendship for Jerry.

Brilliance at its finest...

December 7th-7:09pm

Since my brilliant discovery of Jerry the mouse, it took all of about 5 minutes for it to be all over the press. Naturally this gave a large opening for each of the three suspects to jump in and immediately go on the defensive. Now one could assume this would be a simple case now that Jerry is alive, however, he is in the hospital and not able to speak as of yet making my job once again, more difficult. However, not as many detectives are as clever as I and it is I who knows who the real crimnal is.

It was a quite simple case when I really started to think about it. I narrowed it down to three suspects and through careful deduction, narrowed it down to the real culprit. First suspect is of course Tom the cat. He has more than just one motive to want Jerry gone considering he spends his entire life in Jerry's shadow and attempting to eat him. However, if Tom ever really suceeded, what would he have to do with his life? The answer is nothing and this is precisely why he would never actually rid himself of Jerry, not to mention that if he wanted him gone, eating him would have been much easier and harder to find evidence. Therefore the "far from genius" cat is off the hook. Next suspect is the peculiar little mouse they call Muscles. I suspected this mouse from the beginning because he never really had an alliby and considering Jerry was a TV star and Muscles' hat was left at the crime scene, made me suspect perhaps he got Jerry out of the picture so he could move into the spotlight. This theory was foiled when I relaized a mouse that size (not even one names Muscles) could dig a hole that deep and he does not seem to have any friends so no one could have helped him dig the hole. Therefore Muscles was off the hook as well. The final suspect is Spike the Bulldog who I was certain committed the crime when I dismissed the other two as suspects. However, it was not Spike either. That large oaf would not have been able to dig a hole so deep and precise without ruining it with his "largeness" halfway through. No, this hole was created by someone with the same motives and the same build, just in a minature size.
The real criminal is none other than Tyke, Spike's son. Why he committed such a treachorous act has yet to be discovered, but all the evidence points to him: the little pawprint, perhaps a jealousy that his dad may love Jerry more, or maybe to make his dad proud that he was becoming a strong bulldog? I am sure we will be finding out shortly because the ratty, annoying newspaper lady is standing right outside my door. I see no reason to fight her anymore.

Um...hooray?

Well, well, well, the little thing’s alive. I am just so thrilled. Of course, it was very interesting to have the police and detectives and ambulance people all swarming my house. I got so scared I had to hide under the couch. When I heard yelling, though, I made my way to the backyard where everyone was rejoicing and holding the mouse in the air. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m happy he’s alive, and at least now he could tell the police himself who has committed this crime of burying him in a box. And like I said before, it wasn’t me! How convenient though that the detective found a dog’s paw print next to the hole. And everyone didn’t believe me when I said that mutt had something to do with it. I think that I deserve a little reward for this occasion…possibly a new ball of yarn to play with. But anyways, I’m a nice guy, and even though I won’t be visiting Jerry in the hospital I’ll be awaiting his return home so I could have some more fun with the little cheese-lover.

Death to attempted murder!!!

Great news Jerry’s alive. Bad news someone needs to pay, for they tried to kill my cousin.  They just buried him in the back yard and wanted him to suffocate to death.  Yeah the bull dog is right, we should just be happy he is alive and let this killer go. That makes a lot of sense why not just let Charles Manson out of jail.  Why is Spike  so nervous hmm?  I am not a very forgiving person, when someone has tried to kill my cousin, expect me to try to kill them.   Jerry is in the hospital and I have gone to see him he looks awful mangled it looks like someone tried to eat him, and I swear that I will get my revenge so that way when your wife, kid, or whoever comes to see you can barely recognize you.  Maybe next time you will learn that not to disrespect the meaning of life.  I guess I am taking it as my responsibility to teach you it. Everyone gets one shot at life, if you try to take someone’s, you can’t be forgiven, sorry but whoever is found guilty will have to suffer either from me or by the death penalty. 

This is Fantastic News!

This is great news! Jerry's alive! We all need to realize that everything is going to be alright. Jerry is unharmed and is going to be fine! Can't we all just get along? I know we've all had our shots at each other, but now we can all put our differences aside and go back to the way things were.
However, might I ask how I was dragged into this list of suspects? Sure, I was the last to see him, but I don't know what happened to him. I believe that this mystery of ours is going to be solved by asking the one who was recently returned to us.

"I am trying to do my job"

Cat&Mouse Today

December 6, 2008- In the case of “Jerry Little Mouse,” there has been new controversy over the detective’s journal which was found by an unknown source. The detective and there agency are being questioned by police because of the content in the journal. The detective declared, “This journal was meant to be confidential. It is a place where I am able to put all of my thoughts down on paper about the case. Those who have read my journal in the past few days must understand that I am trying to do my job- don’t take things to close to heart.” The detective is known throughout the world for her quick acting abilities in solving cases.
The detective and police have still not released any suspects in the case. However, yesterday evening the home of Tom and Jerry was blocked off by police as a team of people carrying shovels and other supplies were escorted to the backyard. The police have yet to speak publicly about what was going on, and what in fact they were searching for. There have been rumors by several anonymous neighbors saying they did in fact see a box being lifted out of the ground. Shortly after the escort to the backyard ambulances came rushing to the house. Our cameras were unable to follow the ambulance into the emergency room to see who was in need of medical assistance.

Thank you very much...

December 5th-11:47pm

As we approach the 5th day of the case, it seems I have made the mistake of misplacing my journal to the point where "conveiniently" every suspect was able to come across and read it. So not only is this case going to hang over my head until I solve it, but now I have every suspect calling me out and causing me a hassle with the detective agency. Clearly my comments were to harsh for the public of this fine city and has caused our firm to now be considered as controversial. So if the suspects "conveiniently" come across this journal again, I would just like to say, thank you for making my life even more complicating than it already is.
Anyway, I took a trip down to the scene of the supposed crime and took a look around the house. To my surprise, the owner of the house was sprawled out on the couch passed out with a gigantic bag of cheetos in his lap and a beer in his hand. I have a feeling he has been there awhile and saw no point in disturbing him. As I made my way to the kitchen I came across 14 mouse traps all of which were snapped and each one having remains of gray hair left in them. Another genius plan by the cat that obviously went horribly wrong. I took a stroll to Jerry's mouse hole in the wall, but being too big to fit in a hole, I simply peeked my head in and saw a mirror, a large wad of cheese, and a red hat with a feather sticking out. Last time I checked, Jerry does not wear hats so I decided to place it in my evidence bag and move on. I then continued to the outside of the premesis which took me to the backyard where I found something quite interesting. When I walked out the door and took exactly 5 paces forward onto the yard, to my right was a miniature paw print with what looked to once be a hole right next to it. Now being that this is Jerry's yard, why would a paw print of a dog, a miniature dog, be in Jerry's yard? And why is there a random hole dug in just about the middle of the yard?

12:07am-I called in the team to dig up the hole which seemed to be much larger than I expected it to be and at the bottom of this 5 foot deep hole was a box and sure enough what we found inside the box was our victim, surprisingly alive.

End Entry-December 6th 12:09am

Open-and-shut case

First off, I would like to thank the lovely detective for being on my side, for the time being, and recognizing how I couldn’t possibly have done this horrible deed. However, I am a bit appalled with being referred to as a “feebleminded nimrod.” Nimrod? I’m a cat for crying out loud! We cats are sly, intelligent, clever, extremely well-groomed, I could go on forever. And as for that mutt next door, he should stop pointing his big old paw at me just because I’m the cat. He calls himself a pacifist, but then admits to trying to hurt me! That just doesn’t sound right. And yes, maybe I chased Jerry out of the house that day, but how can I be blamed for his disappearance when that dumb dog was the last to be seen with him? Spike admits it too! If you ask me, this sounds pretty much like an open-and-shut case. If you don’t believe that, then how about the little mouse’s cousin Muscles? He just kept going on and on about being called a liar. Sounds like someone is getting a bit defensive! After all, he did mention how big of a star Jerry was. I bet he was a bit jealous. Ever feel like you were left in the shadows while your cousin had all the fame, Muscles? I bet you have, and that’s ok. All we need to solve this case is for the real criminals *cough* Muscles and Spike, to confess and we could all go on living our lives like we used to.

You know what really gets me worked up, someone calling me a liar. I am a big guy if you haven’t noticed, I lift day in and day out it because I have little animal syndrome. Now why would I want to belittle myself and degrade myself by telling lies about how my family was killed? That hurts to think that people just can come right out and just assume it is ok to call me out like that.  I just needed to get that off my chest first, but I feel the police aren’t even helping me search for Jerry. Jerry was famous he was as big on TV as the weights I lift.  Now I am suppose to organize search parties, how can you expect a mouse like me to find someone I am not half blood hound for Christ sake, the only thing I can find is the bathroom, the weight room, and some cheese?  I need help I would love people to be on my side but it seems like everyone is just pointing fingers.  I am tired and upset and yet people are telling me it is going to be ok. Yeah, yeah it will be ok how about I go Kung-Fu on your ass, huh, it will be ok it will only hurt a bit.  I am stressing here and all people keep doing is the breath, hell I am breathing otherwise I’d be blue; all I want is my cousin. A simple request in my eyes, I don’t want sympathy, I just want Jerry to be home and happy.  I am about to freak and bring in an AK and just go Taliban on the freakin’ court room because they aren’t doing anything.  I think Helen Keller might have been able to do more than the Judge.  You know what else I think the detective could use an attitude adjustment I think I could quickly change his view if I pulled his head out of his ass. I know violence isn’t the answer, but it is a way to make me feel better. 

No one can trust anyone these days

Can't a dog just live his life in peace? These prosecutors are all the same; they're always trying to fudge the truth just enough to sway a jury. She said that I walked up to the stand with my "big old chest protruding outward." Of course I was! That's how I'm supposed to look! I didn't get to choose where my chest is, so I apologize for the way I am. Lawyers...all the same. Continuing, what is this nonsense about questioning my beliefs? I AM a pacifist. I don't believe in harming anyone...other than Tom, and that's only because the furball deserves it. Look at what he's done to Jerry his entire life, just tormenting the poor thing. Once again, sorry for trying to stick up for the little guy. Why do you have to judge me? So what? My forefathers were a little rough and I may have friends that may be a bit on the violent side. Does that automatically mean I'm the same way? I would think not! To me, that just doesn't add up. Summing up this matter, why would I not be biased against the cat? I have had to watch that feline menace terrorize Jerry day in and day out. You just don't understand because you haven't lived it. I was there.
Also, I would like to point out a few problems with our "oh-so-faithful" news periodical. Sure, I was with him that morning and it was nice outside. What our reporter seemed to have left out was that we were outside because Tom had forced Jerry out of the house and I said I would stay with him until Tom was gone. I was not only spending time with Jerry that morning, I was protecting him. It would be absolutely ludicrous to think I would harm Jerry in any way, shape, or form.

"I cannot face the fact that he may be dead"

Cat & Mouse Today

December 3, 2008- The little brown mouse, known to all as Jerry, is still missing. In addition to detective work being started, large search parties have begun throughout nearby neighborhoods in the hopes of recovering the now notorious mouse. Jerry’s cousin, Muscles, who has been in charge of organizing the search parties states sadly, “Jerry was my only living relative, and I cannot face the fact that he may be dead. I will continue these search parties until some form of evidence on his location is found.” Search parties have been going on all afternoon since the day of Jerry’s disappearance. Flyers can also be seen throughout town with a picture of Jerry displayed on them. There have been no discovered leads announced to the public regarding Jerry’s disappearance.
The hired Detective for the case of “Jerry Little Mouse,” has begun questioning certain individuals. While it has been stated there are no prime suspects, it has been leaked to the public that three individuals in particular have been interviewed. Spike and Tom, two of Jerry’s friends, have been questioned as well as Muscles, Jerry’s cousin. The bulldog, Spike, caught up with Cat & Mouse Today, and acknowledged that he was with Jerry earlier that morning. He denied any involvement with Jerry’s disappearance and when asked about what he and Jerry were doing earlier that day he explained, “We were outside, it was a beautiful day.” Jerry’s rival Tom denied any involvement as well in the disappearance of Jerry and would not respond to our questions.
If you or anyone you know has any information on the disappearance of Jerry you are urged to call the detective at: 1-800-555-5555

The Trial Begins...

December 2nd- 11:30pm

The case of the missing mouse has just begun and already I feel something just is not right. Jerry the mouse goes missing and on the first day of the trial, naturally everyone points the finger at Tom the cat, his supposed foe. The first to take the stand against the scruffy cat was a curious, beefy bulldog named Spike with a clearly biased attitude towards the cat from the beginning. He sat up there with his big old chest protruding outwards, reasoning with the jury that he his a pacifist and Tom has been tormenting Jerry his entire life. Call me crazy, but something about a bulldog being a pacifist, does not quite add up. The next peculiar little individual to take the stand was a little mouse named Muscles who apparently is the cousin of our victim. I started to doze off as the one they call Muscles, went on and on about how they made a Disney movie depicting how his entire family was killed. Curious how this has anything whatsoever to do with the disappearance of his cousin, but the little mouse just kept on going. He started to talk about a rather disturbing incident where he had to watch his relatives get ripped apart by cats at a place run by rats. Interesting how rats have the power seeing as how cats are much larger than the rats themselves. How is it that the cats did not disturb the rats and it was only the mice they killed? And why did the great one they know as "Muscles" simply sit in the front row and not do anything to stop this massacre of his family from happening? Something about the little brutish mouse makes me think that there is more to him than his story leads on. The final speaker of the day was of course Tom the cat who naturally got up and defended himself by saying he was the obvious choice when the little mouse he torments goes missing. Now it makes a lot of sense to suspect Tom to have taken out Jerry in some way, however, something about this incident and the intelligence level of the cat, does not quite add up. He makes a good point when he notes that he has tried several times and failed each time to eat Jerry so he couldn't have possibly gotten him. Frankly, I agree with the cat because he does not strike me as the quick witted type but more of a feebleminded nimrod. More investigating needs to be done and tomorrow I think I will take a trip down to the supposed scene of the crime to see if there are any leads. As of now, I am eager to see what else the suspects can come up with because right now, I think their all a little fishy.
Entry Complete- 11:47pm

It Wasn't Me!

As soon as the little pest goes missing, everyone points fingers. But who are they all pointing their fingers at? Me. Just because I’m the cat and Jerry was a mouse, everyone assumes I am the one responsible. Everyone knows I would always try to kill him, but c’mon, have I ever been successful? Personally, I’ve always just been playing with him. Jerry was like my own little toy that I could chase and have a little fun with. I mean, I loved the little guy. Do you know what else I love? This country; where we are all innocent until proven guilty. My most heartfelt condolences go out to Jerry’s family, specifically, little Muscles. And I hope the police find poor little Jerry, but I dare any one of them to find any trace of my fur on his body, or my paw prints at the scene of the crime.

Muscles Isn't Strong Anymore

This is awful first off Jerry was the last family member that I was close with, the rest of them died you see my family has had some bad luck. The deaths that haunt my mind aren’t my mother’s death or my sisters’ death because they were the high tech mouse trap the “humane” ones that kill you instantly. The ones that stay in my mind are the large family massacres.  Most of my family was killed late 1800s by the Great Mouse Trap, the Disney movie Fievel Goes West was a kid friendly version but the truth is the cats did win.  The cats killed everyone in the town which includes my closest relatives. Many of whom didn’t die right away they had their legs broken and struggled in pain, screaming for help but the only people that came were the cats and if they got away they were just found by vultures.  In the 1960s the Amazing Cat and Mouse Games had an awful twist where my brother and Uncle, jerry’s father became a part of it accidently.  See for the games I don’t know if you have heard we use criminal or war prisoner mice to be sacrificed in the games. We sit in the Mice’s Coliseum, the Romans’ found our first one and built theirs based off ours, we have been killing criminals and war prisoners centuries before the Romans ever had the idea.  Most of my family, Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, got back stage passes and because that place is run by the rats they can’t tell the difference between a good mouse and a bad one, so they made my family part of the show that day.  The only reason Jerry and I didn’t get tickets, was because my mom didn’t want me to get to know any mice that was about to die.  So we watched with my mother and sisters from the front row watching my family getting ripped apart by huge cats was just terrible, the irony is that we didn’t go back stage because my mother didn’t want us to know anyone who would die that day, who would have thought we would already know people who are going to get slaughtered. It reminded me of what used to be my favorite novel The Castle of Llyr where Taran fights the great cat except again my family loses. My uncle Basil, you know the Great Mouse Detective, went on a case in 1995 looking for a killer in London and never returned, it left me only with Jerry as my only surviving family member and now he is gone.  Muscles is what they call me but I feel weaker than ever now.

Spike says...

When I woke up this morning, I had read in the newspaper that something had happened to Jerry. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Who would want to do anything to that poor innocent mouse? Then it hit, right as I said it. Tom. That mangy old cat has always been tormenting that poor creature. Why do you think I'm over there all the time? Is it because I'm a dog and supposed to follow some inane stereotype of pulverizing the cat any chance I get? Absolutely not. I like to think of myself as somewhat of a pacifist, besides the damage I incur on that stubborn cat. I say you pursue Thomas the Cat, and you will surely find the one responsible for the wretched deed.

Where's Jerry?

Cat & Mouse Today

December 1, 2008- Late yesterday evening there was a disturbance at the home of Tom and Jerry, were police were notified of the little brown mouses' disappearance. Police responded immediately to the scene were many individuals were seen wiping tears from there eyes. Police have released minimal information on Jerry's disappearance. He was last seen by his friend Tom, a Russian-cat, early yesterday evening. Later that evening Jerry was no were to be found. Police have called in a special detective to review the case, and are asking that anyone with information to please step forward. There has been no comment on were Jerry may be and if this has been a murder or kidnapping. Jerry was a popular mouse and known to many as Tom's rival. Jerry's relatives are desperate to find where there loved one is and will not give up until they do find him.
