You may remember that my kitten, Barnaby, was the victim of a vicious street mugging. The perpetrator remains at large and continues to be a danger to innocent felines in my neighborhood.
To investigate this crime and apprehend the miscreant I have established CSI Tbilisi, an investigative agency based on my favorite crime drama television series called CSI (Crime Scene Investigation).
CSI follows Las Vegas criminalists (identified as “Crime Scene Investigators”) working for the Las Vegas Police Department. CSI Tbilisi follows Tbilisi based Crime Scene Investigators Bassa (me) and the tall person (the tall person).
Anyway, to bring you up to date on the investigation we interviewed Barnaby shortly after he had been mugged but he was unable to provide a full description of his attacker because it was dark and it happened so quickly. He was, however, able to tell us where it happened.
This is a picture of the crime scene.
It is the crumbling house in our street – a well known haunt of ‘bigger boys’.
Hmm, it will be difficult to extract any forensic evidence from there.
We have decided our best option is to try and jog the memory of the victim so I am spending time with Barnaby on the toy room balcony looking for cats in the street.
In the meantime, the tall person is collecting ‘mug shots’ of street cats in our neighborhood and we are showing them to Barnaby in the hope that he will identify the perpetrator, or ‘perp’ as we call them in law enforcement.
We showed this suspicious looking character to Barnaby but he said it wasn’t the one that mugged him.
I hope we catch the ‘perp’ soon. Barnaby is getting restless. I have reminded him that for his own safety he must remain within my witness protection program and not wander off.
I told him not to worry. CSI Tbilisi never gives up!
O you are such a great detective Bassa!! Just like the guys from CSI 🙂 OUr favourite is “Bone”, much more our scene, investigating remains!
Lots of slobbers,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
P.S. Hope you find the culprite soon!
Thank you Lexi and Jasper! We are doing our best to track down the ‘perp’ 🙂
Oh Bassa!! You (and Tall Person) are such a great detective!! Look how methodically you are going about your investigation. There are many great detective shows to help give you ideas (I would think you would like ‘Bones’ too, as it’s name would be so appealing). I like ‘Criminal Minds’ they have some great ideas for helping to jog the memory of the victims!! Your mug shot album is a great start & I know, like Horatio Cain, you won’t stop until the perp is aprehended!! May I make a suggestion? You may need to invest in some awesome sunglasses which you can put on or take off at dramatic moments. They seem to be the secret for Horatio!!! 😉 Keep up the good work & maintain Barnaby’s witness protection (for tips on THAT check out the show ‘In Plain Sight’!!) sometimes witnesses get a little stir crazy so you’ll have to be vigilant to make sure he doesn’t “go rogue” & try to apprehend the perp himself!! You’re a true hero Bassa!!!
Wow! Thank you for your awesome advice and suggestions. I shall check out the shows you mentioned. I suppose for real authenticity I should get sunglasses and dye my hair ginger like Horatio Caine 🙂
If anyone can get to the bottom of this it will be you and the tall person, Bassa. What will you do when you catch the perp?
Hmm, what would I do with the perp? Probably scare him and ‘suggest’ that he moves on. I don’t think he would stick around. I can be quite scary! 🙂
Oh Dog! CSI! I need to start one of them too….. but then, I’d probably end up investigating myself…. NOT a good idea!
Rumpy, you are already an ace investigator!
Wow how clever you are Bassa! You’ve come up with a great idea! CSI Tbilisi sounds very cool and must be much better than the one in Las Vegas!
I think that the suspicous looking charactor cat looks still cute, too!!! 🙂
Bassa, I hope you and the tall person will take a break from sleuthing and check out this funny BBC video on my blog

Hilarious! The gorilla is especially funny 🙂
Bassa, are you going to get a new title? Maybe Detective
First Class Bassa? It would make you sound very official and intimidating when you are interrogating the perps.
With you on the job, Detective Bassa, I am quite certain you will find the perp in no time!
Bassa you”ll find the perp. We know it. Barnaby stay strong. When does CSI Tbilisi hit the airwaves?
Bella and DiDi
What a great and thorough job you atr doing! Keep up the great work and you’ll catch the perp. When you do Ginger wants to interrogate the perp….. muwahahaahh
🙂
I know, with your great investigative skills, you’ll catch that perp. It’s takes perserverence–stake-outs can be tough.
Oh, Bassa. 🙂 You are smart! Love the photo of you spending time with Barnaby on the balcony. With you on the case, it will be solved! xo Berner Girls
If only all witnesses could have the benefit of your protection, Bassa!
Good luck. Sounds like it will be a tough case to solve.
I love CSI! Looking forward to “watching” episodes of CSI Tblisi. 😉
Bassa – You make a great Lead Investigator…I hope you catch that villain soon and Barnaby can feel safe once more!
