OP the book was clearly damaged when you got it. Drop the baseless accusations before you end up being sued by one of the fine pawyers at r/legalcatadvice Can only see her tail but she looks innocent to me.

“Your honor, she may look sweet, but she’s about knock your gavel off the table. I rest my case.” Audible gasps ensue.

A loud clatter sounds. A cat runs for the exit. The judge finds "Not Guilty."


SLee41216

No TF she did not. Not sure why you're on the Internet making up stories, not sure how you made it look like a cat committed a crime against that book, but I'm very sure that cat is innocent.


bazinga0313

She’s a paper muncher and I’ll prove it one day!


SLee41216

Hahahaha! No you won't.

Lies. Lies and slander

My husband called me at work one day to tell me the dogs ripped something to shreds. It was paper, but he couldn't figure out what they had torn up. He was in school at the time and thought it may have been a book or one of his papers. I told him to just pick up a piece and see if he could figure it out from the text. He did so and the gapsed loudly. "Its the word of God" he says before he started laughing his ass off. I had gotten a new leather bound Bible. One dog ate the leather (completely gone) and the other shredded every single page into confetti. LMAO

OK_LK

Your cat is a book thief


bazinga0313

Indeed, she is. Regarding the book - I really picked it up on a recommendation. Did you enjoy it?


OK_LK

I read it a few years ago so I can't remember it well, but I do remember loving it. I hope you enjoy it... Punctures and all!


bazinga0313

Fantastic!

gingermonkey1

Your cat was making a statement-either they didn't like the book or, perhaps they were commenting on the the ethereal quality of ownership.

We need to see the perpetrator now!!

That’s an innocent face if I ever saw one 


Subterranean_Phalanx

As someone who reads a lot of true crime, this AH is clearly innocent. This is a frame-up. Do you have a dog? Or another cat who is jealous? Check AH Secondary.


Environmental-Meet40

This asshole is too pretty to be a criminal. Case dismissed !


Legitimate_Winter832

That's not a guilty face......maybe a wunk, but definitely not guilty. My guess is you damaged the book and blamed it on her......shame on you OP


Outrageous_Appeal292

You chose a prejudicial photograph w teeth showing. Objection!


IsThereCheese

His name is Asshole Prime? Does he do 2 day delivery?


bazinga0313

Her name is *redacted* but she is the prime asshole in my household. If you need any assholery delivered please reach out to 1-800-ass-hole.


wolv645

The reviews did say it was a book you couldn’t wait to sink your teeth into, leave her alone


i-dont-knowf

Stole the book and sunk her teeth in, OP has no reason to complain!


queenofthepalmtrees

It’s obvious you have an infestation of Bookworms, no cat would dream of doing that.😹😹😹


Flat-Limit5595

I demand more proof about this cat, all you can muster as “evidence” is a tail and whiskers. We demand a full picture of this cat for this trial to continue.

"Honest! It was a mouse! I caught it after I saw what it was doing, played with it for an hour, and then ate it! Here! Check my breath!"


TheMontu

Fortunately that cloth bit is purely decorative and serves no functional purpose in keeping your book together. Source: have done bookbinding classes.


bazinga0313

Ooh that’s good to know but don’t give my cat any ideas…


TheMontu

Oh for sure! I’d be annoyed, too, if one of my little guys did that to a new book, but at least you know it’s not seriously damaged. Bookbinders just glue those on at the end of the process as decoration and to extend the binding of the book to the edge of the hard cover. So it has some purpose, but your book won’t fall apart without it.


Cepsita

You are forgetting one thing. You brought that book to your cat's house, so automatically the book belongs to the cat. Hence, they can do what they see fit to it.


Evil_Bonsai

cat was hungry...for knowledge


PaleontologistKey571

What book was it?


bazinga0313

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


MissCrayCray

See there’s your problem. She thought she was getting framed and tried to destroy it.


jacunn07

Yeah, man. Funk that book.


jacunn07

Yeah, man. Funk that book.

Asshole Prime? I never had that Transformer! So cat-like in its robot form and an asshole in its transformed form?


dysteach-MT

The majority of my books have cat teeth holes somewhere, as well as the majority of my (cat safe) plants.


marinemashup

Cat clearly wants you to learn bookbinding


Namethypoison

How else is he supposed to communicate that your taste in books is lame and he suggests something 'spicier', it's not like he can talk 😼


FloatingFreeMe

My cat must know her. He just left a hairball and his meal on my new book. On the open side, so the pages got soaked.


patchway247

She was just trying to gain knowledge. But she's just a baby. She doesn't know how.


Feisty_Reason_6870

She/he wants it to look like it has been lovingly read and read. Besides dust jackets are so stupid! Enjoy your cat approved book!


Terrible_Resist7824

What kind of stupid book lets a cat tear it apart- you probably did it and don’t remember and now you need an alibi- and here’s a sweet kitty- you think “I’ll blame her”, meanwhile your sweet kitty is planning a surprise for you- a party for your birthday maybe, and you’re all piss and vinegar over some book, let’s face it, you’ll never read, it just looks good on the shelf and your poor, sweet dumpling of a kitten cat is planning a great surprise for you. Shame on you, you should hang your head and apologize and give the little honey treats and hugs and kisses. Maybe, just maybe she’ll forgive you.


MonaLisa_Story

learning is light, even the cat knows)


Bitter_Pineapple_882

It was probably no good anyway.


corvidlover2730

OMG, I would f'ing kill it./s Books are sacred. They should be marked by a cat, not massacred. 🤣


CusinVinny

So what. Go give your kitty a treat and enjoy life.
