The cat never really liked Arthur. He only tolerated Arthur because of the food he provided. However the cat had decided to kill Arthur about 3 days before he disappeared. The cat couldn’t take it any longer. Distaste finally won out over self-preservation. Now 3 weeks after Arthur’s disappearance the cat was beginning to worry. Arthur had no friends to speak of and what little family he had rarely interacted with him. Sure, the cat had been able to open the dry food bag by the back door. But the toilet water was beginning to run low. Somebody had better show up soon.
