No.
Were the members of the crowd Jim’s pets?
Did the police mistakenly believe that it was illegal for Jim to own those pets?
If so, was it because of the quantity of the pets?
Or because of the species of the pets?
Is the crowd made of insects?
mammals?
birds?
reptiles?
Is the crowd just in Jim’s imagination?
No to all
Mammals.
No to the imagination question.
Were the members of the crowd Simians?
You probably don’t know who Rodney Dangerfield is either, damn millenial…
Were the mammals bovine?
Canine?
Lupine?
Supine? (nm that one)
Was Jim some type of animal handler (herder, vet, pet store employee)
No.
No to all.
Would identifying the exact type of mammal make the solution apparent?
Did this occur in the United States?
Did the animals have something to do with Jim’s transportation such that the police had to drive Jim home?
Did Jim utter something about these animals, that could have been misinterpreted as a derogatory term?
Equine?
Feline?
*not apparent, but would help
No
Reptile?
Were the felines housecats?
Large predatory cats?
Did Jim carry something that made the cats interested in following him?
If so, was it food?
Did the police think Jim was a cat burglar?
(duck and run)
KK
Did Jim carry catnip?
No
Yes
Was Jim arrested for carrying catnip and attracting a crowd of cats?
Is there a play on words involved between crowd of cats and clowder of cats?
Did a police officer arrest Jim for attracting a large group of cats?
Was the officer later convinced at the station that it is not against the law to attract a large group of cats?
Did the police think the catnip was marijuana?
We’ll call it, though.
Jim was selling catnip door to door, but a huge crowd of stray cats began to follow him. He was arrested for attracting a big crowd of cats, but he explained his situation to them down at the police station and they agreed to just let him go.
