bring home packaged pepperoni for dinner? "Us Cat" did. I followed him one day to find where he was getting them. There was a old market near and he would crawl under the foundation into the cellar and into the store. I told the owner about it and he said "by golly I thought the kids were stealing them". But after that he did block the hole. So that ended "Us Cat" shoplifting. :evil:

That's a good cat story! You should send it in to "Animal Planet"!

bearisgray 07-07-2011 02:20 PM

Funny!

If you would order Pepperoni Pizza on a regular basis the Poor Dear wouldn't have had to resort to being a Cat Burglar :lol:

No not pepperoni, but we had a cat that would bring home socks from the neighbors. This was back when most houses had the washer & dryer in the garage so it was quite normal to have baskets of laundry in the garage waiting to be done. If someone left their garage open our cat would without fail rifle through their laundry & bring home socks.

Reminds me of that "stealing cat" video on YouTube. Too bad you don't have a clip of your cat stealing the goods.

rusty quilter 07-07-2011 02:34 PM

Too funny!

Moonpi 07-07-2011 02:34 PM

The dog did it! He's been framed!!!!

thequilterslink 07-07-2011 02:44 PM

LOL, that is funny. Our dog went to neighbors one time and snitched the steaks off the table... I was so embarrassed lol, they didnt' care tho, just took the package back, they loved the spoiled dog as much as we did.

ljfox 07-07-2011 02:50 PM

My cat steals my socks and lines them up in the hallway. She "sings" to them as she hauls them. I think she thinks they are her babies or something.

Dolphyngyrl 07-07-2011 03:41 PM

Really that sounds like a cute kids book story burglar cat

eastermarie 07-07-2011 03:42 PM

We had a cat that would steal the corn cobs out of the neighbors trash and drag them across the driveway and chew on them. He was also the one that dug up every pansy she planted in her flower bed. She'd replant them and he'd dig them up again and toss them out of the bed.

jbud2 07-07-2011 03:49 PM

We had a dog that would go to the neighbors' and bring home their their dishes/containers they would set outside with tablescraps in, for their cats!

So THAT IS WHERE THEY DISAPPEAR :lol: :lol: :lol:

Stacey 07-07-2011 06:32 PM

That story is too funny. And I love your cat's name.

mamahippychicky 07-07-2011 06:32 PM

One of our cats used to bring home food for the other cats... guess he thought we didn't feed them enough or something :)

That all came to an end after he was hit by a car while out 'shopping' and he is now a three-legged cat. Well, I thought it would all end, but when I got up yesterday morning I found some chicken bones on the dining room floor.

Is there therapy for them do you think?

gypsyquilter 07-07-2011 06:34 PM

dear cat, please, no more pepperoni, bring home t-bones!!

chris_quilts 07-07-2011 06:39 PM

We had a dog once that brought home 1 brand new running shoe, NOT my size. Wonder what the poor woman thought when she couldn't find the 2nd shoe? He also brought home a teddy bear once.

My Siamese cat, Suki, used to bring home socks! Once on two consecutive trips to the neighbors she brought home two matching socks... we used to play fetch with her with a rolled-up sock... gosh, I miss that cat...

Kuusistoquilter 07-07-2011 06:46 PM

I had a black lab many years ago that would retrieve things from the neighbors. Stainless steel bowls, all sizes, clothes, towels, sheets, bbq utensils. I would never know what she would bring home next. I would be afraid when the neighbors would come over in case they recognized something. For about 2 weeks, she brought home wool clothes that still had the dry cleaning tags still pinned on them.

redkimba 07-07-2011 07:42 PM

Oh, my word. That is why I don't let the cats out of the house.

katigirl 07-07-2011 11:58 PM

I caught my tabby (Bud) trying to steal a 42 inch salmon we had in the sink that our neighbor brought us. Was out of kitchen only 2 minutes to tell husband I needed help cleaning it. Told dh is he can carry it off, it's his to keep. lol.

blueangel 07-08-2011 03:09 AM

That is funny

NUTMEG10 07-08-2011 03:55 AM

That is to funny. To bad you did not get a picture of him coming home with it in his mouth.

This is what Maui brings me. Sam (1966-1986) was the first to present me with one of these. The next day my hubby installed a back door with glass. I don't let my pets in without seeing what they've brought. This was taken thru the French doors.

That's too funny! I have to keep my shoes locked up because my cat steals them. He thinks they are chew toys.

Diannia 07-08-2011 06:19 AM

I had a cat that would bring me crawdads and frogs whenever it rained. Yuck!

sandpat 07-08-2011 06:22 AM

No, but we had a "clepto" dog. He brought home balls, sticks, clothes, shoes, even all 3 "bases" from a ball park. I kept a box in the garage of all his "hauls"...nobody would ever claim any of it though. It might have had to do with the slobber on all the stuff though.

So that's where my socks are going. I lose at least one sock a wash.

klgreene 07-08-2011 08:02 AM

Too funny...it sounds like a movie!

Quiltbeagle 07-08-2011 08:06 AM

LOL, a cat burglar!

pipp5 07-08-2011 08:07 AM

That's a pretty clever kitty! Have you seen the video about the kleptocat?

IdahoSandy 07-08-2011 08:19 AM

Oh boy, to think that my cat only brought home dead mice when I could of had peperoni. laughing, laughing

caspharm 07-08-2011 08:41 AM

Very funny! Wonder how he figured out how to get in? :)

quiltpd 07-08-2011 09:38 AM

Holy cats ! Pun intended ! How in the world did he figure that out ?!

I had a cat who would steal things I had thrown in the chicken's pen for them to eat - like squash skins, corn cobs, rye bread. After a while we would just let him have first crack at the corn cobs, he really liked them.

I can still picture him reaching his paw in through the fence for a half-squash skin...

LindaaJR 07-08-2011 11:32 AM

Cute story and very smart cat, but then all cats are smart. Take care.

Cal Gal 07-08-2011 02:01 PM

When I was a kid my cat had her kitten in my bedroom, so I left the window up a little so she could go out. Most cats would bring home birds or mice for babies but not Susie she brought her kitten corn cobs.
