An apparent cat burglar struck a Queens deli last weekend — snatching a bodega’s 18-year-old tabby that one grieving worker said is like his “teenager.”
Video captured the moment the stranger scooped up and carried away Antonio, a staple of K’Glen Deli and Sari Sari Store in Woodside.
“The people love him here. People always stop in the store looking for the cat. They keep saying, ‘Where’s the cat?’” Glen Alagasi, who has owned the deli since 2014, told The Post.
“I’m very sad without Antonio.”

Shoe salesman scene: Part 10
In this day and age, nothing surprises me. Feel sorry for the owners. Over the decades, we have had several cats reach 17, 18. When you start with them at just a few weeks old, 18 years is a long time. They are there, every day. While nothing like man’s best friend, anything you have, for that long, and is alive, becomes part of the family. Our current feline was rescued from up in a tall tree. Seemed about 4 weeks old, and was screaming. Besides the fleas, it was in great shape. The first day in our home, it found and used the cat box. We put out flyers with its picture around where it was found, but no one answered. Also, it is the spitting image of a previous cat we had. Since it was found way up in a tree, we invested in two TALL cat trees, and it climbs up and down all the time.
Spread the picture of the guy (creep?) that took him. Someone knows this guy.
That’s what I was thinking. That, or “some chinese family is having a delicacy for appetizers.”
It’s a tough decision. I love my cats but they insist on going out to hunt birds or field mice or hang out in the back yard. My neighbor told me that my cat would use his dogs “door” and go into his house and hang out with the dog...caused no trouble....
Perp didn’t look like was hunting the cat. Cat seemed friendly and not afraid...I have a feeling perp might have thought the cat was a stray....hope he returns cat....but if he was a cruel person and harmed the cat or abandons cat...I would hope the perp gets treated the same way.
