In an unprecedented event that has left the residents of downtown scratching their heads, a local furry, dressed as a cat, was arrested last night for driving under the influence and causing a fender bender with the front window of the CVS on Main Street.
A Purr-plexing Situation
At approximately 2:30 AM, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) received numerous calls about a car swerving erratically down East First Street in the Little Tokyo Historic District of Los Angeles. Eyewitnesses reported that the vehicle, adorned with a giant tail and whiskers, was ‘purring’ down the road before it crashed into the CVS storefront.
The Feline Fiasco
Upon arrival, officers were surprised to find not a human, but someone dressed in a full cat costume behind the wheel. The furry, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was found to be in a state of confusion, with paws on the wheel and a half-empty bottle of catnip-infused ‘meowgaritas’ in the cup holder.
Nine Lives But No License
The costumed culprit was taken into custody without incident, though they did attempt to land on their feet while being escorted out of the vehicle. A breathalyzer test confirmed that the individual had more than just milk on their breath, registering a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit.
Community Reaction
This bizarre incident has sparked a mix of concern and amusement among locals. “I always knew that cat was trouble,” said one bystander, who preferred to stay anonymous. “But driving? That’s a new one.”
Safety First
LAPD has issued a statement reminding residents that while dressing up is all in good fun, safety should always come first. “Operating a vehicle under the influence is a serious offense, regardless of species or attire,” the statement read.
The Aftermath
The CVS sustained minor damage, and no one was injured in the crash. The furry community has rallied in support of their fellow member, offering to cover the damages and advocating for responsible celebration.
As for the cat, they have been released on bail and are awaiting trial. It seems that this kitty may have used up one of its nine lives, but hopefully, it will land back on its paws with a lesson learned about the dangers of drinking and driving.
