Jinx... the cat? Is this puzzle about a cat? Adult cat? Kitten? Male? Puzzle about a human? Adult? Male? More than one party involved? The random first guesses: Did somebody get ahold of a lazer pointer and have loads of fun with the family pet? (God I love doing that!) | ||

so he saw a mouse? Not known (it's my 'assumption') was he in his home? No at work? No was the mouse in the middle of the room? FA under something? behind something? did it run under something? behind something? into this hole? did he try to kill the mouse? in some extreme way? dynamite? All of these may be false assumptions - not surprising - because of my puzzle statement may be misleading. At best the accurate answer should be.. not known. | ||

sorry I meant but NOT what had caused them i.e. he was found dead but no one knew for sure what had happened? chasing a mouse is one way it may have did he die in the house? was it a house of someone he knew? was he a burglar? was he killed by someone else? by a traditional weapon? did something fall on him? did he hit his head? bleed to death? die of natural causes - heart attack or something? did he suffocate? did he lose any limbs? | ||

Ooo, damia cracks it wide open with the dead q...nicely done. Maybe the standard q should become HAMA, or maybe HAML (substituting F as appropriate) (: Was he partly in and partly out of the house? In a place one might find meeses (which one may or may not hates to pieces)? Was his lower part in the house? | ||

Was he stuck in a pet door? Window? Skylight? Chimney? Non-standard hole? In the ceiling? Wall? Floor? Well done Tim This is a comic-tragedy depending on your perspective. I didn’t know how widely publicised the case was on the side of the Atlantic where it occurred. ************************** SPOILER ****************************** This is the case of the chap that was found dead, stuck in a “cat door” Here are news links. The second one is a video interview News Item with Video Video |
