Who's got the CAT?

Update: Juan Pablo got it!

The legend is that Cacho Einstein thought up this little puzzle.

But what appears to be verified is that Cacho really did say that only 2% of the world could ever arrive at the correct answer.

The readership at this blog is certainly within that 2%... well, except for maybe some anonymous stalkers from a well-known for-profit website.

Give it a try... there are no trick questions or clues. Answers on Wednesday.
An industrious paseador de perros has four (4) expat clients on one particular street in Palermo Hollywood.

Five (5) expats live next door to each other in different colored apartment buildings on that street.

Each expat has a different nationality. The five expats drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigarrettes and all own a different breed of dog... except one.


That one expat lives with a cat.

Who's got the cat?

Clues:
1. El ponja lives in the beige apartment building.
2. El turco has a poodle.
3. La franchuta drinks vino.
4. The grey apartment building is on the left of the white one.
5. The grey apartment building dweller drinks agua con gas.
6. The expat who smokes Parisiennes has a pequinés.
7. The expat in the brown apartment smokes LM menthol.
8. The expat living in the apartments in the center drinks mate.
9. The Jockey Club smoker lives next to the one who has a salchicha dog.

11. The one with a retriever lives next to the LM menthol smoker.
12. The expat who smokes Derby drinks cerveza.
