They say curiosity killed the cat - but one Texan moggy's exploration of its new home helped uncover a huge stash of child porn.
The cat was snooping around its new flat in Austin, Texas, when it came across a gap in the wall.
The woman who owns the feline remarked on it to a friend, who put his hand into the gap and found a number of DVDs apparently hidden by the apartment's previous owner.
She took the discs to the police who discovered they contained child porn.
Officers tracked them to Luis Jimenez, who had moved out of the apartment some time earlier.
They say he probably forgot about the discs when he moved house.
The 24-year-old has now been charged with possession of child pornography, according to Fox News.
He could now face up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to US$10,000.
