The picture is absolutely hilarious.

I had a Heinz-57 dog, all black with white paws, white ring around nose and white tip on a very long-hair tail, back when I was ten years old. Used to pull me around on a skateboard. He was awesome, smart and such a character.

" Lucky" went about lifting newspapers, shoes, etc. I made a sign and drew his picture on it. Mom had my sister and me pull a wagon about the neighborhood with all the things Lucky took away to reunite them.

If I can find a picture I'll post it for you.

Love you guys, I've been sick awhile but on the mend. Love you so much, God Bless you.

The cat needs a pair of cat handcuffs.

My cats all stole my heart, each in turn. As did a couple of birds.

Years ago I had a BIG black lab dog. He resided in the back 1/8th acre of the house, where he freely roamed or laid in his dog house.

In the morning he would have new dog dishes in the yard. I started out thinking he was being fed by neighbors, until I started watching him at night. When the lights went out, he jumped the fence, which was 6’. If you turned the lights back on he jumped back. If you watched with lights off, he would come back with full dog dishes and eat them before morning. The neighbors hated him, but that dog could jump like Michael Jordan, and what a clever thief he was. Taking even neighbor dogs favorite toys.

Our cat has only ever brought us birds in various stages of life/animation, mice (some each of dead and alive), and parts of baby rabbits.

Never anything useful.

It’s been storming in S. Michigan for the last few weeks.

My cat noticed the satellite signal freeze and making a popping sound.

He stared at the TV for a few sec and then went over to the control box and starting pressing buttons with his paw!

No - - - - , he thought he could fix the TV!

I wonder if he could set the clock on the VCR?

My cat would steal bottle caps. I moved something and found her stash. She had more than 50 caps.

She was a strange cat in so many ways.

I had a cat that did that for years. gloves, shoes, socks, hats, underwear, tools (in plastic bags), towels.

way too funny; she was adorable when she would bring something and announce the gift, loudly

Once all the “Oohing and Ahhing” has been done about the ‘cute kitty thief’, some neighbors are going to start asking:

You know your cat comes on other folks property and steals from them, so why haven’t you put the cat in a restricted area or just started to keep him inside?
We are kinda done laughing about it.”

If this cat owner continues to do nothing to change the cat’s pattern, expect the neighbors to begin taking more ‘preventive measures’ on their own.
Who could blame them?
This is no different than people who let their Pit Bulls roam the area, pooping freely on other folks lawns.

My black cat loves to pry off and hide the plastic caps from bottled drinking water, any fake fur mouse toy or ball with a bell in it that the other two cats are playing with, and yesterday he tried to drag off a resistance band I had left on my weight bench, but couldn’t get his teeth into the foam on the handle-I clear out his stash area behind one of the cat condos every few days, but he still brings stuff back into it-maybe it is a black cat thing...

My cats do not go outdoors-this is a rural area-the mountain lions in the woods consider loose pets fast food...
