Inspector : Now, if you please, where is alleged cat?
Lefty O'Doyle : How do I know? He got away. I missed him clean.
Inspector : Then where is bullet, please?
Lefty O'Doyle : Mister - you got me.
Inspector : Bullet in cat, perhaps?
Lefty O'Doyle : No. If bullet in cat, cat wouldn't have got away.
Inspector : To whom did alleged cat belong?
Lefty O'Doyle : I'm sure I don't know. I never saw him before.
Inspector : Aha, and why was alleged cat shot?
Lefty O'Doyle : Why do you suppose? Because I didn't like the sound of him.
Inspector : The very important question, please - is witness in habit of shooting cats?
Lefty O'Doyle : It's been known to happen where I come from.
Inspector : And then perhaps witness' father also shoot cats?
Lefty O'Doyle : You bet your life. And his father before him. We never let a cat break up a good poker game back in Idaho.
