HELP MI9 FIND MR. STINK

Have you seen a dashing Bengal cat acting suspiciously in your neighborhood? The super-secret spy agency MI9 is trying to locate Mr. Stink. Please send photos to findstink@stinkfiles.com.

SIGHTING: Phoenixville, PA

"Shea" sent this, wondering if Stink could be operating in disguise at his house under the alias "Pip." Shea writes that Pip is an excellent cat who is very protective and takes good care of his boy. Informants on the scene are keeping close tabs on the suspect.

SIGHTING: Menasha, WI

This blurry photo was captured by "James." It's hard to tell if this cat is our Master Bristlefur, but he was found at a local shelter, "curled up in the arms of a worker there."

SIGHTING: McKinney, TX

Submitted by "Graham." He writes "Mr. Stink may be undercover at our house. He ended up in the joint again, but this time he had a private cage. We found him at the Richardson Shelter. His enemy may have gotten the best of him because he was already declawed when he was put in jail. I think Mr. Stink is happy that we changed his name to Tiger. Because we fear for his life, we don't let him go outside. His adventures inside include planning attacks on a white mouse, gray mouse, the blue fluffy monster on a spring, the notorious laser beam, and the outlandish unseen blanket felons."

SIGHTING: Rochester, NY

Submitted by "Bruce." While Stink adores Lobster Thermidor with an exquisite bechamel sauce, we seriously doubt he'd allow himself to be photographed in such an undignified pose.

SIGHTING: Somewhere in NJ

Submitted by "Suzanne." This photo was snapped in New Jersey, but Handsome Jack here is probably not Stink (with hair extensions). Our informant writes that this dashing tom is "at home, alone, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m... using the phone, the computer, and the shredder... He seems to have arranged to have the phone bills diverted, the computer is cool when I get home, and he likely eats the shredded paper--there isn't a trace of any activity at all. But we all know better."

SIGHTING: London, UK

Submitted by "Hannah" in London on April 4. The cat's too prosperous-looking to be Stink, who keeps himself in better shape. Also, high-tech photo analysis of the image shows it says "Tommy" on the collar. But the location is provocative. Perhaps the cat knew Stink?

SIGHTING: Brooklyn, NY

This image was captured by a corner deli security camera in Brooklyn, NY in January 2004. It's too grainy to tell, but we know that Stink made enemies with the cat mob in Brooklyn. It's unlikely that he'd move out in the open like that against snow, without a disguise.
