Furry thief

Recommended Posts

Sammy (RIP) used to collect up soft toys that I had in a box in my bedroom and deposit them at the closed nursery door when I was pregnant :lol:. It was almost as if she was building a nest. When Ashley was born, she used to sleep across his closed door. She also used to bring in the elastic bands that Postmen have a habit of chucking around all over the place. Then one day she brought in a live one - a punctured worm :vom:

My cat Minty went through a stage of stealing brushes (paint brushes, pastry brushes, my cake brushes, any type she could find) and depositing them in my husband's shoes :lol:

 

The best one was our other cat, Meg, who once came home with a fresh turkey, cranberry and stuffing pie bought from Sainsburys that day (we know this because she also thought to bring the wrapper!). We've never liked to ask which of our neighbours shopped at Sainsburys :oops:

:lol: That reminded me - Sammy was seen vaulting fences by a neighbour with a huge piece of gammon in her mouth. She never brought it home and we never dared to ask around to find out where it had come from :lol: Cats!! You've got to love them :lol:

Marmite had a thing for cotton buds and would scale the bathroom sink to reach the shelf where they lived. They would be fetched down in her mouth in twos or threes, then disembowelled before being hidden under the bath mat.

 

If she couldn't reach the clean ones she would tip the bin over to find used ones and play with those :vom: !

What a great cat! Our cat used to bring in live birds and mice (and promptly let them go).

 

However, in the last 2 months she has managed to realise she's a cat and not a vegetarian tree hugger (as OH calls her) and killed everything she's bought in! This included a robin

:( after she had let it go and then chased it all up the stairs, shedding brown feathers as it went.

 

Shes also 'too posh to push' and has to have the catflap lifted if she wants to go out! Bless.

What a great story, and it reminds me of my Granny's Siamese cat who was a seasoned thief. He once brought home someone's half finished knitting complete with needles!

 

One Sunday my own cat once brought home a half-carved leg of lamb. I was too :oops: to make enquiries and I'm ashamed to admit that I let him eat it for his tea.

 

Fantastic :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

My parents had a siamese kitten who would raid visitors cars if they had left the window open and leave the things he had found on the front doorstep so that when Mum & Dad opened the door to let the visitor out there would be a pile of their driving gloves, maps, rags for wiping the windscreen etc etc displayed in front of them :o

 

My own cats have stuck to wildlife of various sizes from vanishingly small shrews to ridiculously overoptimistic mallards! (couldn't get that one through the cat-flap!). My previous cat's crowning glory was bringing in a birds nest complete with an unbroken egg in it. (A sparrow's nest I think). :shock:

one of my cats steals socks off the clothes airer (that she insists on sleeping on and often falls through the holes! lol) and drags them around the house whilst yelling at the top of her lungs. And every night without fail both of them carry their toys around the house yelling and will find them anywhere; their bed, a box, under the sofa or in a bag - they always manage to find them and leave them somewhere highly treaturous for you in the morning!
