25 January 2006

One of my cats has become a kleptomaniac.
The other day he stole a bag of mints and a $5 bill. Just a moment ago I say him trot by with a work glove in his mouth.

My dog went through a sock and underwear stealing phase. Now, of course, she's just a panteater.

My wife's cousin has a cat with huge eyes that will stare at you until you give her what she wants. This is the first begging cat I've encountered. Predictably, she's quite fat.

My cat (who lives in NZ), when younger, used to hide in a little ledge under our kitchen table. When you ate, she could position herself in such a way that at some stage during the meal all you saw was a little paw coming up over the side of the table and feeling around for food.

Inevitably she stole and ate broccoli. She loves broccoli.

Now she steals garden gloves from neighbours garages.

I think what we have here is a cat burgler. Does your cat look anything like David Niven? Because that's a sure giveaway.

Perhaps they are starting to organize. Gathering items needed for the revolution?

Is this cat a kitten? I had a cat who was a klepto kitten, but grew out of it. I remember trying to play Connect Four once on our living room floor, and slowly running out of checkers as she stole them one by one.

Nah, he's two. I think he is planing something big.

I think the bag of mints and the $5 indicate that he's readying himself for a big date. (Not sure exactly how the work glove would fit into that scenario.)

you don't wanna know.

You won't get any sympathy from me until she eats two of your favorite wool sweaters and several smartwool socks, including one with a kicky margarita pattern.

Did he steal your Kitty Carryall? Because that shit can break up families.

(And I wish my cat talked like David Niven.)

My cat talks like a peevish English schoolboy. He is fat and lets his food wishes be known, but does not steal.

. . .

I think if we put them in hats, it could mess with their plan.

I think they're organizing -- because they're pissed at humans for taking advantage of them.

Case in point!

The cat burglar is planing his next move.

And eric I love these two.

arse_hat -- that photo is a riot. It looks like Mr. Smug was caught in the act of trying to strangle Miss Pussy.
posted by ericb 25 January | 15:47
"Strangle Miss Pussy" is a euphemism for what, now?

Maybe he's saving up to see Fatboy Slim? (QT, sound)

That photo is so beautiful, arse_hat. Give the kitty the loot! *sob*
posted by taz 25 January | 16:45
taz, you have no idea. He is the master of the pose. If I am doing something and he feels I should take a break to pay attention to him he roles on his back, folds his paws up, closes his eyes and makes mewing sounds.
