Cat owners know that if their feline friends could, they would plot to take over the world, and commit unspeakable crimes.

Cat trouble

One particular kitty in Japan was suspected of being a little out of line.

Enter the Aokibosai Disaster Prevention Co. Ltd, which operates construction and maintenance of fire-fighting equipment the Hirano ward of the Osaka prefecture.

In a series of tweets, the company mentioned that it “filed” a criminal report as employees were disturbed by numerous strange noises, such as “meow” during telephone calls.

Tamasuke, the public relations manager of the same company, has been arrested in relation to the case, as he is suspected of having violated the anti-nuisance ordinance.

This is Tamasuke.

The four-year-old Tamasuke tried to justify his actions, saying that he “thought that hearing the voice of your customers is linked to increasing one’s motivation while conducting business”, and he merely “wanted to experience that for myself too”.
