Isn't that a brooch? Or did I totally make up that word, since now it seems totally wrong?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was feeling all superior, but then realized that I hadn't known definitions 2-4 of the verb or 1-4 of the noun. Sad now.
edited because quoting the whole definition took too much room, since it was posted so nearby.
