Lolyer Needed For Panty Bandit

funny pictures

Oscar has a knack for knickers. This twelve-year-old kitteh has swiped more than 70 items, mostly underwear, from the neighborhood. Thinking that neighbors would report a rash of missing underwear around the neighborhood, Oscar’s owners reported his burglaries to the police. The police are on the case and have taken down his paw-ticulars.

    We just decided Finn (1yr old) is a pirate. He has a black mask of fur over his eyes and he has a treasure chest of stolen loot. He goes outside and brings back something new every day, but seems to prefer things big and metal: a door knob, a role of copper wire, the nob from a stove, a dog collar, someones protective work goggles, etc. You can hear him running up to the door meowing with something in his mouth. He’ll some inside and drop it in the floor, watch until I put it in his treasure chest (a shoebox with his name on it) then run off again.

    The great writer and cat-companion, Colette, reported in one of her books that her cat repeatedly stole a string of pearls from her dresser and would hide them around the house.

  87. exhoicat says:

    Our last indoor-outdoor kitteh didn’t steal, but she would leave dead vermin on the front and back doormats as gifts. She did that most often when I was having financial touble, and was woorying about buying fud. I think she was trying to help. She KNEW!

    We keep kittehs indoors all the time now…too dangerous to let them go outside. Coyotes come down from the hills to hunt because their habitat is being destroyed by developers.

  96. littleredridingwolf says:

    My older cat steals headphones, hair tyes and christmas ornaments, my younger cat steal toilet paper.

  97. Kara says:

  98. v arts says:

    Puff (for real) would steal cigarettes, first from the ashtray, and them from my mom’s purse. She had to buy a holder with a clasp to keep the cigarettes away from Puff. Puff would tuck them under a coil rug. It was a riot to see her slinking along with a cigarette dangling from her mouth, knowing she shouldn’t have it!

  99. sue says:

    medicine cups (the small ones with the measures on them)/ Miles runs around the house like a loony with them. I think he’s the only happy one in the house when I or my husband get sick. He also nicks pens, pencils, hairties

  100. lepetite16 says:

  114. Adaein3 says:

    Wow!! All you cat lovers commenting on your kittie habits, it’s too late for me to read them all tonight but I sure will tomorrow. My Angela not only took many a hair tie, she also sent them flying all on her own by stretching them between her snaggle tooth and her polydactal toes. then she would chase it just as if I had done it for her. RIP Angie 2010

    My kitteh–his name is Baby—steals hair ties mostly. Takes them and runs as fast as he can under the bed. When he was a baby he could run under the couch. So we’d move the couch and find Baby’s stash of pack-rat goodies.

Puts them all at the back door and then chirps loudly until we declare her “such a clever kitty!” and approve her hunt. <3

  197. Kara7 says:

    One cat I had stole my jewelry: mainly earrings and occasionally necklaces. Often she would also fish out tin foil from the trash and keep it, usually with her jewelry hoard. We referred to her as a magpie, due to her penchant for shiny things.

    Another cat my parents had stole olive wood objects – buttons and even a salad fork. He would slobber all over the olive wood, not unlike the way most cats act with catnip. We could not get these items away from him, as he would fight for them. Yet another cat would run off with my father’s cataloupe or grapefruit rinds at breakfast, the latter being very unusual as cats usually despise citrus items.

  198. Jesca says:

    My cat takes my hair ties and swallows them. Very dangerous! She can open drawers to get them, crawl in purses/bags, reach up on the shelves in the bathroom. Sometimes she chews them into little bits and puts them in her food dish. Need a cat-therapist…

    My kitties don’t steal anything, but they do kill lots and lots of animals – Mostly rabbits, mice, birds, and the occasional snake. They want to share with us, so they will frequently leave half a rabbit on the door step for our breakfasting pleasure. Our male even brought a live dove into the house, virtually unharmed! I think he was attempting to teach us how to catch and kill our own food.

    After Baci rolled in the monies, he carried one of the dollars into the livingroom, jumped upon my lap and dropped it. A true theif! (and he works for me) lol.

  229. The Tomlette says:

    Shiney. Yep, my cats like to steal anything shiney. Or if it resembles a string of some sort. Necklaces, for instance, that I leave on my bedside table at night will be missing in the morning. So do hair bands, so make of that what you will….

    All 3 of my cats have stolen something at some point in time. Kay loves to take pens. She used to hide them in the toilet, so we have to keep the toilet seat down. Elle loves stealing bottle caps. I have a talking bottle opener, and Elle will search the counters for the bottle cap when she hears it. It’s best to just give her the bottle cap right away to keep her from jumping up on the counter. My third cat Alex is the weird one… he has a tendency to steal plastic wrapping out of the trash can.

  235. Christine says:

    My cat would steal the foam coverings to headphones. They would be on top of a table, but she’d go up there when no one was looking.

  246. catfriend says:

    She steals ponytail holders. She waits for me to open the Magic Toy Drawer (filled with jewelry and ponytail holders) and will did right in if I don’t shut it back up immediately. If I put on down for a second while pulling up my hair she’ll steal it out from underneath me. She’d rip them out of my hair if she could. She’s happy to steal earrings, too, but she’ll take a ponytail holder over those any day. At least they’re cheap.

  247. Lyss says:

    My cat Midge steals tissue paper…normally the whole box of them

    Pixel LOVES tomatos. She will take a whole one off the counter, steal diced ones from a salad, and take slices off a sandwich (leaving meat, cheez, etc.) She is very agressive when we have spaghetti. She must be locked in her room when we eat because she won’t leave our plates alone.

  256. MalcomFrost says:

    Our kitteh, Isis, likes to recycle. She’s constantly diving into our recycling bin and pulling out whatever she can fit in her mouth. These things usually wind up under our couch, or behind the book shelves. I couldn’t imagine what she’d bring home if she were an outdoor kitteh.

  257. Carryl says:

    Balls of blutak, makeup sponges, the little teddies that clip onto the curtains (she just swipes them down and carries them off).

  258. Leah says:
