are you trying to tell me you think my daughter killed your cat?

NEW NEIGHBOR LADY
oh! god no. the cat was old. it should have died months ago. i just wanted you to know bella and molly found it and she may have touched it. i washed her hands but know how you are and thought you'd want to know, and you know, maybe wash them again. that's all.
