No.

CAT Precisely! What would cause a tomato to do such a thing? DOG (Yawns.) I don’t know, Cat. I don’t know. It must’ve gone bad or something. CAT Went bad? As in, it expired? Are you out of your mind? DOG What else could it be? CAT Are you serious? It’s that rat! DOG Rabbit. CAT Can’t you see? It sleeps all day and when we close our eyes it lurks in the shadows and decimates the food supply! It’s a monster! A terrorist! It has to be that rat. DOG Have you actually seen any of this? CAT Well— DOG Have you caught the thing red-handed? CAT Like I’ve said— DOG Have you actually bore witness to any of this?
