Many years ago I had a yellow long-hard cat who used to steal vegetables rom the kitchen. Yes, I’m serious, When we first started noticing vegetables (radishes, etc.) disappearing from the counter, we assumed we were just being forgetful. But, then one night during dinner we heard a loud thump from the kitchen. We jumped up just in time to see the little tyke (he was only a kitten at the time) trying to drag a large cucumber across the floor. He had just pushed it off the counter. It was practically as big as he was. It was hysterical to see him trying to get a good enough hold with his tiny teeth to pull it out of the kitchen. I can also remember getting up from bed one morning & stepping in something large & mushy on the floor. I focused my eyes & saw what looked like a large, bloody human skull. After I calmed down, I saw that it was a large honeydew melon that he had dragged into our bedroom, then completely shredded with his claws.

Sarah, We thought Cubbie was a klepto, too, but now we are finding that what he’s doing is pusing things off dressers and counter tops right into trash cans! My husband was ballistic because he couldn’t find his class ring. We looked and looked and finally found it….guess where? My point is, look in the trash, then find another place to put the bins. lmg _ Laura M. Grindle _ / _ ,_ _

I know exactly what you mean. Toothbrushes are a favorite item to disappear. If I just leave it on the sink instead of hanging it up, its gone. I’ve lost two of them, only found one. Another favorite item are the their claw clippers, Smudge I am sure is not the thief. I suspect Peepers, anytime I do his claws they will disappear the moment my back is turned. Somewhere in this apartment are two clippers that I can’t find. Pet store is having a good chuckle every time I go in for another pair. The other items are the usual things that used to be mine but they have claimed. The cutest (?) thing though are with the cords and toys that I play with them with as opposed to their toys proper. They decide, on occasions when on the fifth time that day that they want another half hour of play time with me and I am not prepared to play, to take them anyway. Without so much as an apology, they will march over me to the cord (usually) sometimes the furry ball on a bungee cord, and just take it and walk off with it. Fortunately they just play with them. They can end up anywhere in the apartment but they are not going into the stash with the clippers and thus I can find them. Larry Osborne

ARGH! Here’s a Siamese story for you…a friend of mine invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner one year in college (my parents were off traveling). We went the day before Thanksgiving and my friend’s dad started cooking the 25 pound turkey the night before. It smelled HEAVENLY. Meanwhile, they have a Siamese cat that they called ODB (ya know, old dirty bastard)…anyway, ODB could smell it cooking and kept meowling for some…MEEEEEOWL…MEEEEOWWWW…for hours on end. Long story short, time for Thanksgiving dinner the next day, table’s set, food is on the table, turkey’s looking yummy. My friend’s dad went to the other room to get the carving knife for the turkey…we’re all laughing and talking and all having a good time while sitting at the table waiting for her father. This hideous SCREECH came from ODB in another room…everyone knew he was upset about the turkey. Friend’s dad walks in the dining room with the carving knives…ODB comes streaking past my friend’s father, jumps up on the table and hisses at everyone…bolts towards the turkey and sprayed it…ewwww…it was gross, but god, whatta memory that was!

Many years ago I had a yellow long-hard cat who used to steal vegetables rom the kitchen. Yes, I’m serious, When we first started noticing vegetables (radishes, etc.) disappearing from the counter, we assumed we were just being forgetful. But, then one night during dinner we heard a loud thump from the kitchen. We jumped up just in time to see the little tyke (he was only a kitten at the time) trying to drag a large cucumber across the floor. He had just pushed it off the counter. It was practically as big as he was. It was hysterical to see him trying to get a good enough hold with his tiny teeth to pull it out of the kitchen. I can also remember getting up from bed one morning & stepping in something large & mushy on the floor. I focused my eyes & saw what looked like a large, bloody human skull. After I calmed down, I saw that it was a large honeydew melon that he had dragged into our bedroom, then completely shredded with his claws.

Sarah, We thought Cubbie was a klepto, too, but now we are finding that what he’s doing is pusing things off dressers and counter tops right into trash cans! My husband was ballistic because he couldn’t find his class ring. We looked and looked and finally found it….guess where? My point is, look in the trash, then find another place to put the bins. lmg _ Laura M. Grindle _ / _ ,_ _

I know exactly what you mean. Toothbrushes are a favorite item to disappear. If I just leave it on the sink instead of hanging it up, its gone. I’ve lost two of them, only found one. Another favorite item are the their claw clippers, Smudge I am sure is not the thief. I suspect Peepers, anytime I do his claws they will disappear the moment my back is turned. Somewhere in this apartment are two clippers that I can’t find. Pet store is having a good chuckle every time I go in for another pair. The other items are the usual things that used to be mine but they have claimed. The cutest (?) thing though are with the cords and toys that I play with them with as opposed to their toys proper. They decide, on occasions when on the fifth time that day that they want another half hour of play time with me and I am not prepared to play, to take them anyway. Without so much as an apology, they will march over me to the cord (usually) sometimes the furry ball on a bungee cord, and just take it and walk off with it. Fortunately they just play with them. They can end up anywhere in the apartment but they are not going into the stash with the clippers and thus I can find them. Larry Osborne

LOL! Great stories! What a cat he must have been!

I have a Siamese girl that likes to yoink little things like my bottles of nail polish, hair clips, etc. I don’t know where she hides them. Someday I’ll move a piece of furniture and be buried in an avalanche of stolen booty! I remember a few years ago on Thanksgiving I had aa 23 lb. turkey thawing in the kitchen sink. I walked into the kitchen and there was my brat, up on the counter with the turkey leg in her mouth, tugging for all she was worth! (She weighs about 5 lbs. soaking wet!)

My cat Tequila (3 1/2) is a Kleptomaniac! Every so often things go missing. Just little things, like pens, socks and stuff like that. Then she expanded her horizons. I was cooking in the kitchen and had a package of mushrooms on the counter – she took it!? I have no idea where she hides this stuff, but when I do I’m thinking that the pile is going to be huge! The oddest thing she ever took was a pair of wire cutters. She was only about 7 or 8 months old and very tiny. She had to really work to get them where she wanted to go – taking breaks as she went! — Sarah Zourdoumis "The slower I go, the closer I get to genius." http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Makeup/7912/index.html

They showed a cat on tv like that the other night. They showed this white cat heading outside with these rolled up socks, one after another. It was so cute – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->My cat Tequila (3 1/2) is a Kleptomaniac!

I had some neighbors once who had a klepto-cat. He had a cat door and they found all sorts of stuff he brought home. One of his favorites was Barbie dolls stolen from the little girl nextdoor! I couldn’t put down a rag when I washed the car, he’s run off with it!

Many years ago I had a yellow long-hard cat who used to steal vegetables rom the kitchen. Yes, I’m serious, When we first started noticing vegetables (radishes, etc.) disappearing from the counter, we assumed we were just being forgetful. But, then one night during dinner we heard a loud thump from the kitchen. We jumped up just in time to see the little tyke (he was only a kitten at the time) trying to drag a large cucumber across the floor. He had just pushed it off the counter. It was practically as big as he was. It was hysterical to see him trying to get a good enough hold with his tiny teeth to pull it out of the kitchen. I can also remember getting up from bed one morning & stepping in something large & mushy on the floor. I focused my eyes & saw what looked like a large, bloody human skull. After I calmed down, I saw that it was a large honeydew melon that he had dragged into our bedroom, then completely shredded with his claws.

Sarah, We thought Cubbie was a klepto, too, but now we are finding that what he’s doing is pusing things off dressers and counter tops right into trash cans! My husband was ballistic because he couldn’t find his class ring. We looked and looked and finally found it….guess where? My point is, look in the trash, then find another place to put the bins. lmg _ Laura M. Grindle _ / _ ,_ _

I know exactly what you mean. Toothbrushes are a favorite item to disappear. If I just leave it on the sink instead of hanging it up, its gone. I’ve lost two of them, only found one. Another favorite item are the their claw clippers, Smudge I am sure is not the thief. I suspect Peepers, anytime I do his claws they will disappear the moment my back is turned. Somewhere in this apartment are two clippers that I can’t find. Pet store is having a good chuckle every time I go in for another pair. The other items are the usual things that used to be mine but they have claimed. The cutest (?) thing though are with the cords and toys that I play with them with as opposed to their toys proper. They decide, on occasions when on the fifth time that day that they want another half hour of play time with me and I am not prepared to play, to take them anyway. Without so much as an apology, they will march over me to the cord (usually) sometimes the furry ball on a bungee cord, and just take it and walk off with it. Fortunately they just play with them. They can end up anywhere in the apartment but they are not going into the stash with the clippers and thus I can find them. Larry Osborne
