I don't suppose anyone has an idea why a cat would suddenly take an interest in tea when he never has before? Honestly, I though he was over this juvenile kitten behavior...

Edgeworth, I'm very sorry, but there's been a minor tragedy at home.
not amused,
someone call pest control,
cats what are they good for,
teacup tragedy,
family affairs,
exasperation much,
charming domesticity

A... tragedy?
[Yes, there literally are dots there, where he tapped his pen a LITTLE TOO HARD.]

I'm afraid KC took quite an interest in your tea stock.

May I ask how a cat successfully negotiated a kitchen cupboard and a wooden box?
[Yes that AND is rather forcefully EMBOSSED. Because :|]

When you have a chance to come home and take a look at the scene, please give me a list of what was damaged.

[He strongly suspects human carelessness in this scenario, Kazahana. And when it comes to human carelessness, his mind inevitably turns to Kiba. But he's too polite to suggest that your boyfriend has been dipping into his tea collection in the mornings.]
And unless you have some previously undisclosed method for changing the nature of the Wilderness at will, a list will be of little use.
[If you sense SOME IRRITATION THERE you would be right. Because yes, Justice seeks out tea from the more civilised Wildernesses whenever he can. He has had an impressive collection in that box, neatly filed and labelled to correspond with the notebook in which he compiles brief comments on each blend along with optimum brewing times. OBVIOUSLY.]

[It could have been Kiba, but she's observed cats long enough not to trust that any place is safe from them.]
It's not all [pause] ruined--not everything was completely spilled. If you don't mind that some of the packaging has been chewed on, there will be considerably more to save.
I'm very sorry.

There is another long pause before he answers because he is a) attempting to remember to be reasonable, and b) applying the WWTD? (What Would Truth Do? rule]
If he had the grace to cease chewing once he reached the tea, then I suppose I should be grateful for small mercies.
Your apology is unnecessary.

More likely he got bored.
No, it's not. He's my cat; I should have trained him better. I take full responsibility.
