As I said at the time, how many cats are there in New York?
The fact that the bar had a cat is trivially insignificant.

Cats have DNA.

Really??? Gosh, who woulda thunk...

If, as it looks like may be the case, Littlejohn is the
perp, and Fluffy's fluff is involved one or more hairs may still have
the bulb attached.

1) I wasn't talking about Littlejohn's cat, I was talking
about the bar's cat.

2) If there were to be a DNA match, that would be a whole
'nother story. I was talking about the mere fact that there was
a cat. Absent a DNA match, the mere fact that the bar had a
cat, and the blanket had cat hairs, is not very damning.

3) We've discussed the fact that cat hair (fur) does not
contain nuclear DNA. I don't think cats shed their fur
with bulbs or roots attached.
