This thread about the ‘world’s most criminal cat’ is today’s funniest, loveliest thing
You don’t need to have lived with a cat to appreciate this, but it helps.
It’s a fabulous thread which went viral after it was posted by historian @FionaBowler about the cat they are currently looking after. Specifically, a cat called Reg, ‘the world’s most criminal cat’.
And it’s a leading contender for today’s funniest and loveliest thing.

We left him safely in the utility room overnight the next day and came down to this. Note the expanding splash zone for protection from water crimes. pic.twitter.com/n0fFRBGJIF
