Cat hair. It’s a fact of life for feline aficionados, and even the most vigorous lint-rolling never seems to get it all. FBI officers investigating a Texas woman accused of sending letter bombs to politicians used a cat hair stuck under the address label of one of the letters to help convict her.
The hair was compared to a sample from the woman’s pet cat and proved to be a match. The cat was out of the bag after that!

Either family or friends will step in, or she will go to a no-kill shelter.
The cat had nothing to do with it. It’s all the owner’s fault for being stupid enough to threaten people.

Let’s hope she goes to a Sanctuary or this woman’s friends and family might take it out on her for (innocently) fingering her owner. If t his woman sends out letter bombs she can’t have a real stable group of people around her.
So what happens to the cat if her owner goes to prison?
Shame on a Cat Lover for sending Letter Bombs!!
