Cat lives matter.

A man suspected of DUI had probably one of the best excuses one could make after being pulled over for going 130 mph, as the only logical reason to speed that fast is to get home to your feline companion.

Logan Mirmozaffari, 28, was cuffed by state troopers just after midnight Sunday after he was caught flying down I-395 in Norwich “at an extremely high rate of speed” in his Kia sedan, Connecticut state police said.

When the trooper asked “why he was driving so fast, Mirmozaffari explained that he wanted to get home to see his cat,” police said.

“While speaking with Mirmozaffari, the Trooper began to observe multiple signs of impairment,” state police said — noting the smell of booze as well as the driver’s “glossy eyes and slurred speech.”

Despite his honesty about the urgency to get home, he was still forced to spend the night in the slammer.

The feline aficionado then failed to complete a field sobriety test and was arrested, the statement noted.

It’s unclear if his cat eagerly awaited his arrival, as he implied, but it’s doubtful. Although he wished to return home to his pet, at least we can be relieved that he does not identify as a cat.

LOL. As far as cat excuses go, identifying one is probably the worst way to get out of a speeding ticket.

We can also be relieved that nothing was wrong with the cat, which was not the case for another man who was rushing to take his beloved pet to the animal hospital.

A man in Edina, Minnesota once refused to pull over during a police chase, as he felt he had no choice but to get his 18-year-old cat, Mr. Fluffles, to the emergency vet.

Although he was not as bad as going 130 mph, he was clocked at 80 mph at his fastest. Fortunately, Mr. Fluffles got the care he needed and was okay. His owner also got off with a slap on the wrist, as he claimed his thoughts were “clouded by his urgent need to get his cat to the vet.”

So as far as cat excuses go, Mirmozaffari did not have the best one but he also did not have the worst one, as we can confidently say identifying as a cat is the awful crime of them all. And fortunately, no one got hurt during his reckless pursuit to get home to his feline companion.
