The cat, in the bathroom, on the officer's shoulders?

But this was no game of Cluedo, it was in fact a case of a cat wanting to stay close to police officers while they investigated a report of a burglar at the pet's home in Portland, Oregon.

Sergeant Pete Simpson said police found broken glass on the floors of the basement and a bathroom in the property, and when the cat was moved to ensure it did not injure its feet, it promptly leapt on to the shoulders of an officer and stayed there until police had finished searching the house. No burglar was found.
