Hey, you're listening to Outside In. I'm Nate Hedgy. I am allergic to cats. It's probably why I've never really loved them. But I respect cats. They're sassy. They're independent. They're sleek. Arguably way cooler than a dog.

So when I heard that my colleagues at NHPR's document team had a whole new true crime miniseries about a cat controversy, I just had to share it with you all.

So today we are bringing you part one of the final days of Sergeant Tibbs.

And if you all love it as much as I do, you can hear the rest of the series.

There's a link in the show notes.

Okay, here's part one, chicken livers.

Just a heads up before listening.

There's explicit language throughout this series that might not be suitable for all years.

Also, if you're interested, we have photos, links, and more at nhpr.org slash tibs.

This store owner stole her cat. Hey, what's that? This store. I'm going to start by playing

you a little sound. It's from a protest. I'll do my best to describe what's happening. But it's not easy. It's a strange scene.

I wasn't there, but I've spoken to people who were, and there's plenty of videos.

The protest takes place in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Bright sunny June Day last summer.

There are five people standing on a sidewalk, evenly spaced in front of a business.

Maybe you think there's a lot to protest these days.

Maybe you don't.

But this is not a protest you've seen on the news before.

This protest is about someone's pet.

If the internet didn't teach you anything,

you don't fuck with people's cats.

It gets weirder. A woman drives up, parks her car, gets out. Apparently, she's the target of the protest.
