This short article from a Reading (UK) newspaper decribes such an event
'Ed was soon arrested when the
police were informed by a neighbour of strange sounds described to be "Identical to the
time her
uncle hoovered up the cat" the lady ate a peanut then digressed "Aye, i knew that sound straight away.....cats being vacuumed has a distinct tone to it"
Questions were asked as to how he sourced a constant supply of cats, the local
police seargent suggested "he might have been giving birth to them every morning after drinking the off milk found in the fridge" traces of mohair were found in the suspects rear.
Later that evening Smewing was said to have actually made the Cheshire cat extinct after causing a lift to collapse on his way to the
police station, crushing it beyond recognition.'
