Whoever poisoned the 10 cats and two dogs in Palm Beach is in deep dog do now.

     The CIA is on the case. Or ex-CIA and that’s almost as good.

     Fred Rustmann and his squad of ex-Central Intelligence Agency operatives have volunteered to take on the unsolved antifreeze poisonings of the animals on the island’s north end last month.

     “I live there. I walk my dog past that place,” Rustmann said of his cocker spaniel named Sukoshi, which means “little bit” in Japanese.

     Rustmann, a 24-year veteran of the spy agency, operates CTC International in West Palm Beach, a worldwide intelligence firm that digs up information on foreign companies and does other, uh, assignments as well.

     “Wow. A super spy,” said TJ Fisher, who put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. “If the person who did it learns about this, they’ll have to go out and buy some adult Pampers.”

     Police and Palm Beach County animal wardens have no leads in the case, but that doesn’t bother Rustmann.

     “There are people who know what happened…,” Rustmann said.

     Can the CIA succeed where police and a reward haven’t?

     Said island cat activist Catherine Bradley, “They have their methods.”
