Last week:


"Cannabis Cat On Drugs Run Collared At Moldova Jail." BBC News


So, we've got reports of:




— "Saws, drills, headset, memory card, cell phone, batteries and a phone charger" being" strapped to a cat in Brazil.


— "Two cell phones with batteries and chargers" being taped to a cat's back in Russia.


— And now, "bags of cannabis" concealed inside the "oversize decorative collar" worn by a cat in Moldova.




In each case, the felines were nabbed as they either climbed over or through fences. In Moldova, the cat had been "seen repeatedly entering and exiting a small hole in a prison fence," according to Gawker.


According to the reports, the cats aren't talking.
