Cat steals 600 items in 3 years
seattlepi.com / ABC ^ | 15 Feb 2011 | Animal Planet

Meet Dusty, a slightly pear-shaped, fawn-colored house cat, whose nightly theft raids have earned him the criminal alias of “Klepto.”

His San Mateo, Calif. owners figured the cat has stolen 600 items from the neighborhood in the past three years, amassing a growing pile of loot at home, ABCNews reported.

He’s not choosy. Stolen goods include towels, stuffed animals, gloves, socks, shoes, spongy footballs. He stole a Converse sneaker and returned later for the other one, the station said. He lifted a neighbor’s bikini bottom drying outside, and came back for the top a few minutes later. He stole someone’s tighty whities.

The best part of ABCNew’s report is the caught-in-the act, night-cam footage, showing Dusty waddling home with stolen stuff dragging between his legs.

His hard-working take for one night? Eleven items.

Proof to my theory that a lot more goes on in a cat’s brain than they let on to us.

How many people have cats? One, two, three, four...okay, ten. Now- let me ask you this...do ya trust ‘em? Because I’ve gotta get a pair of cat handcuffs and I gotta get ‘em right away. Just the little ones that go around the little front paws or maybe the manacles..four, to get all four paws. But what a drag; I found out my cat was embezzling from me. You think you know a cat for ten years, he pulls something like this. I found out that while I was away, he would go out to the mailbox, pick up the checks, take ‘em down to the bank and cash ‘em... disguised as me. He had the little kitty arrow through the head...and the little kitty bunny ears. And I wouldn’t have caught him, but I went out to his house where he sleeps...and there was about $3,000 worth of cat toys out there. Any you can’t return ‘em ‘cause they have spit all over them! So now I’m stuck with $3000 worth of cat toys! Oh, sure...they’re fun. You got the little rubber mouse; has a bell inside of it- Haw haw haw! Boy, I hate it when it goes under the sofa! Whoa, gimme that! Gimme that! Hiss! hiss!

That was really cool. And the fact that he goes back to match sets is unbelievable. My cats are to lazy to stand up when they eat out of their bowl.
