The Mystery of the Missing Meal

Faraday: Things have been a little lean around here.
Be honest, now. Do I look a bit gaunt to you?


Lately, I've been coming down to my breakfast bowl, only to find THIS.


That's right. EMPTY.

Now, I know Mommy's been busy and all but seriouslies, she'd never forget to feed me.
Besides, it's obvious that these are fresh remains, and not that crusted-over from last night stuff.

Is it a coincidence that Allie's sitting on Maxie's lounger, staring at me? I think not.

I say it's time to do a little

First things first:
Collecting incriminating evidence is VERY important.

DNA Swab: CHECK.

Next, you need tools to catch your suspect unawares. 
She'll never see this one coming...

Invisible Pressure-Sensitive Mat: CHECK.

Maxwell: Pressure--??
Dood, that's not high-tech. It's just a bunch of double-stick TAPE.

Your point, Maxie???
And I just got my PAW stuck in it.

Faraday: Wait - DON'T MOVE, Maxie. You'll get the sensors out of alignment.
And are you sure that's your fur and not Allie's?? Let me just grab my tweezers....


However...
You do make a point. Maybe I'd better get online and order...

(cue theme music from Mission: Impossible)


A LASER GRID.

Maxwell: Dood. Overkill much?
                I have a better idea....

 So whodunit? 
Stay tuned for Part 2, this Wednesday.

    Faraday, I hope you catch the food thief. I'm sure it's not Maxwell. He's too handsome to be a thief.

    You definitely look a bit the worse for it. On plus side if you lose weight now you can eat more at Christmas!

    I'm hoping you are going to use a camera to catch the thief. I know our Vimtag worked well in capturing Bailie and cat bro Bert in the middle of their crimes! I'll be back tomorrow for more!

    OMC - now we're being held in suspense until tomorrow. I can't wait that long - I'll lose sleep. I personally think the dog did it. What! You don't have a dog? Well run out and borrow a neighbor's dog. In fact, he's the one that sneaked into your house during the night.
