WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Most cat owners dread their pets bringing home mice or birds. But for the owners of one felonious feline in Auckland, New Zealand, there’s a worse shame — being the unwitting accomplice to an unstoppable one-cat crimewave.
His prolific laundry-pinching from clotheslines and bedrooms in the placid beachside neighborhood of Mairangi Bay has turned 15-month-old Leo into a local celebrity and earned him a new moniker. He now goes by Leonardo da Pinchy.
And he’s got expensive taste. His frequent hauls include silk boxer shorts, thick men’s work socks — preferably with clothespins still attached — and in one mortifying episode for his humans, a brand-new 300 New Zealand dollar ($181) cashmere sweater.

Now you’ve done it! I was willing to walk away, but siccing the DOGS on me and my trailer is the last straw! I happen to have two, count them, TWO! mini dachshunds who are at the ready to chew the heels to pieces of ANYONE trying to get at me! You’ll rue the day you send the heat to my home!

Ah ha! Just as I suspected. Your speciesism is glaringly obvious. You’re an anti-felinist. A rabid, anti-felinist!
Two dogs proves it! You better hope the felines never rise up against your bias and tyrannical rhetoric against them. They will rip your little dogs’ noses to shreds and yours too. And then they will poop in every one of those carriers, just to be sure.
MUCH worse than a dog!
Dude like that had “Wayne” for a middle name?
I don’t remember what his middle name was. I thought he had very poor judgement to tell me about it.
All right, you aardvark, feline, pretend bird lover! This is my final word on the subject! You keep your criminal cats well away from me and my dogs, or you’ll be sorry! I know people in the IC who can make up enough stuff on you to keep you in court for decades! Poopy butt!
Awww. Thank you for the adorable story link!
Fatigued, you say? That looks like a full time job for kitty!
At least, I bet he is a birthright citizen burglar. ❤
🧐 On closer examination, I’m afraid I got your drift.
