Theo the cat scrimped and saved for months to afford a new couch from Pier 1 Imports, so  when sat down for the first time and found the couch was massively defective, you might guess he’d be upset. But friends say he wasn’t put off at all.

“He’s obsessing for months over this couch,” said friend Ashley Wallace. “He’s going on and on about it. Then it gets delivered, he sits down to watch his favorite show – Real Housewives of Atlanta – and sinks about a foot into the cushions.”

According to Wallace, Pier 1 issued a recall on this particular model of couch due to inadequately stuffed cushions.

“He could get his money back or a brand new sofa. But Theo wants to keep it,” she said. “Honestly, I think he likes it. No one else is going to sit there, I’ll give him that.”

In court proceedings held Wednesday morning, Taco the cat entered a plea of “not guilty” on charges of negligence and vandalism connected to the destruction of a dinner plate in December of 2015.

The plea came as a shock to many following the case, as investigators had long been in possession of compelling photographic evidence depicting Taco standing over the shattered plate with what some have described as a “frantic” look on his face. The prosecutor in the case submitted the photo at the hearing today.

“It’s entirely circumstantial,” Ronald Eisley, Taco’s attorney, said at a press conference held shortly after the plea. “Just because my client was near the scene of the incident has no bearing on whether he is responsible for it, and we intend to fight these charges all the way to the highest court if we have to.”

Mr. Eisley did not respond to follow-up questions from press.
