Portsmouth, New Hampshire, police closed an investigation into reports about someone rifling through a resident’s underwear drawer when the family determined the perpetrator was the family cat, said police Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn.

The reports were made by a resident who told police a female family member’s underwear drawer had been rifled through, while there were no signs of forced entry into the home, according to police reports. Kaltenborn said the family and police were “very concerned” about what appeared to be happening, that officers conducted some investigations and were preparing to do more.

“We were working every angle to make sure there was no reason to be concerned,” Kaltenborn said.

On Wednesday, he said, the family returned home and saw their cat going into the undergarments drawer and move clothing around while making a bed for itself. The finding was reported to police, he said.

7. My Manx, Binger does that every night.

She can pull the top drawers open on my bureau, and then proceed to pull clothing out and throw it onto the floor until there is sufficient room for her to sleep inside it. I tried leaving one drawer open and half empty for her to sleep in, and she pulls the one next to it open and empties it out. This nightly ritual has been going on for almost 5 years now.
