Bernie was a meticulous cat. Every morning, he would meticulously groom his fur until it was sleek and shiny. He would also meticulously clean his paws after every meal, making sure no crumbs were left behind.
One day, Bernie's owner brought home a new piece of furniture. Bernie approached it cautiously, examining every inch of it with his meticulous eyes. He carefully sniffed it, pawed at it, and even licked it to make sure it was safe.
But despite Bernie's meticulous inspection, something was still off about the new piece of furniture. It had a strange smell that Bernie couldn't quite place. So, he decided to investigate further.
Bernie spent the next few hours meticulously searching the house for clues. He checked under the bed, behind the couch, and even in the garbage can. Finally, he found the source of the strange smell - a piece of moldy cheese that had fallen behind the new furniture.
With a satisfied purr, Bernie cleaned up the cheese with his meticulous tongue and settled back into his favorite spot. From that day on, Bernie made sure to keep a close eye on any new objects that entered the house, using his meticulous nature to keep his home safe and clean.
