btw, the answer is one of the choices A-D, don't try lateral thinking
Answers:
The cat caught the mouse
Can't be the fox because then the second statement is not true.
Can't be the owl because then the first statement is not true.
However the Cat catching it allows both statements to be true (the second is obsolete because the cat DID catch the mouse)
