    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defence pleads not guilty, based on the irrefutable evidence that those paw prints were made by a human.

    1 the two prints on the left appear to be different shapes meaning the lower one would have been made by a back paw. Cats can’t fully retract their back claws because they are used for traction when running, not offensive purposes. There are no claw marks.

    2 there is no disturbance to the obviously soft dough. A cat being lifted would grip the dough causing tearing both front and back and a cat jumping off the dough would result in tearing to the rear print.

    The defence rests

      Could be a few probing taps before declaring the ground unstable and icky and not worth the heat.

      Say two front paws, a backtrack, some contemplation then another single paw attempt. This also matches the shallower third print.

      If there were more pixels to the images maybe more could be said.
