Bella is a very special cat. Not only does she have an uncanny ability to burglarize her human’s house without making a sound, but she also likes to share her spoils with others in the neighborhood.
Every day when her owner leaves for work, Bella begins plotting how she can best help herself to some delicious food from inside. And surprisingly enough, not once has Bella ever been caught!
Bella’s ideal life is one where she gets to enjoy the company of her loving owner, Shawn Bell, by day and also run around and have a blast doing what cats do best – steal things – at night. So far, no evidence has been found against her in regards to her nighttime activities, so she continues to live her dual life blissfully unaware of any potential consequences.
After Shawn confronted Bella about the items she had been taking from her neighbors, she admitted to doing it and told him that she thought it was funny. Shawn explained to Bella that what she was doing was wrong and made her promise not to do it again.
Why do you think Shawn’s neighbors began to hang clothes in their yard?
The author does not state explicitly why the neighbors began to hang clothes in their yard, but presumably it was because they were disturbed by Bella’s habit of relieving herself on Shawn’s lawn.
Shawn decides to report Rebecca to the authorities.
