Someone is in BIG Trouble

After making cupcakes for The Boy's office Cake Day, I set about the business of cleaning up the kitchen.

A scritching-and-scrambling in the corner caught my attention. I glanced over my shoulder to spy two furbabies running away. Very suspicious behavior indeed.

Closer examination revealed:


One clever (and quick-pawed) kitty had snagged an unfrosted cupcake several hours before and had been playing bat-the-cupcake ever since. How that happened (the theft or the playing) without my knowledge is only a testament to the quick-pawedness of said thief and the over-worked-addled-brain-ness of said cook.

So...was the thief the idiot who wandered by and did a quick bat-the-cupcake right in front of me?

Or was the thief the kitty pretending to not see the cupcake at all while taking an overly casual bath nearby?
