Take my aunt Dahlia. Do not take me wrong, I love the old flesh-and-blood. But her moral code is lax.
I retired to some distant village to improve my health. There I met her, visiting some friends. She bet everything she possessed on a horse, and the horse was not going to win, but another horse called Potato Chip. Now, Potato Chip took a fancy to a stray cat, and did nothing without it - didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't exercise. So, my aunt hired a local poacher to steal the cat! And she told me nothing, and she asked him to hide the cat in my cottage! I didn't know she was so unprincipled!
And now the owner of the horse is coming to my cottage in person to search it!
What am I to do? How can I de-cat the premises and quickly?
P.S. The cat refuses to leave on its own.
