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.
