Question: When is a cat a mule?
Answer: No its not a type of Jackalope, its when its carrying drugs.
The Russian Republic of Tatarstan still has penal colonies, and there are in fact many such colonies scattered across the regions of this vast country. The inmates in these establishments are just as keen on drugs as are inmates in western prisons.
So their attempts to smuggle drugs in are just as, if not more ingenious. Because due to the remote locations they get few visitors, they have to find different methods to get those drugs.
So security guards in Tatarstan were not terribly surprised when after a chase, a suspicios cat was caught and an inspection of the collar revealed that it contained hashish. It turned out that the cat belonged to one of the inmates.
It was turned into a drug mule by the simple expedient of releasing it outside, where acquaintances caught it and kept the animal hungry for a day or so, before letting it loose near the colony. The now hungry cat would then try to get back in to the prison colony for food, and it was at this moment that it was caught. This ploy has been used in the same colony before, in 2010, when a hidden cargo of heroin was intercepted. Its not known if it was the same prisoner running the cat mules.
In 2018 in the Tulsa region of Russia, another feline drug smuggler was caught entering a prison colony .... the cat burglar, which was born in the prison was taken out by an inmate upon his release and handed over to drug dealers outside the prison who fitted it with a collar stuffed with hashish and amphetamine and let it out near to the prison.
However it was caught and placed in the care of a local animal centre. Two suspects were detained and police prepared to used as a key piece of evidence for the prosecution, but the defence also planned to use it. This all changed when the cat burglar, foiled all plans to prosecute or defend the former prisoner who had hatched a plan, by escaping its detention.
A pet keeper at the sanctuary explained that it was chased away by dogs. Perhaps prison dog patrols would stop the use of cat mules?
