cat burglar.

a small sampling of some of the things that Pete the Cat

has taken into his lair and placed in his special box

sparkly pipe cleaners, a kitchen sponge, a sheep (now just a shaved body),

and a stuffed animal shaped like a peanut

but now

I have to ask:

‘hey, Pete, where’s my shoe?’

I woke up with one of my Birkenstocks

next to my bed

sometimes when I’m sitting down and wearing them

he takes one off of my foot

carries it around

so I have no idea where he found that one

 wonder where the other one is

I looked everyhwere

 finally

hours later

he casually walked into

the living room

carrying it and setting it down on the rug

no big deal

he must have another secret hiding place

where he keeps the rest of his stash

I wonder what else is missing?

‘my dear, i’m a cat. everything I see is mine.’

Below are a few funny comments from people on reddit about cats stealing things:

Does anyone else’s cat steal socks and carry them around the house? I found four

just yesterday and decided to try to sock shame her. I’m sure she was unfazed.

    • Pete is the first cat I’ve ever had that has done this, and why I was reading to see if others have done this. apparently is is a very real habit for some cats.

  17. Many years ago we had a cat who stole rubber gloves. I never caught her in the act, so I had no idea she was doing it; I thought I was misplacing them. But my rubber gloves kept mysteriously disappearing… until one day I came home and found Nelly lying on the living room floor, surrounded by her collection of rubber gloves — every one of which had several fingers bitten off.

  23. Haha, that’s too funny. We have two cats. As long as they had to stay inside the house, the younger one played with a lot of things he found and even ate up my palm tree, but he never “stole” anything. Once they could go outside, they were not much interested in stuff inside the house anymore.

  25. Animal stories are the best! Our old lab, Jake, used to swipe a loaf of bread off the counter and take it outside to his favorite tree to have a feast. “Honey, I thought you picked up bread yersterday.”🤣

  30. Every morning I wake up excited to see what’s on the bedroom floor. I’m never disappointed. This morning I found gardening gloves (I left by the back door with my shoes), a long ribbon toy and a stuffed mouse. I have been putting socks on the floor since she loves to bring them upstairs. This was such a wonderful post. Pete The Cat knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s a pirate of sorts. So adorable. I love his little box with the toys.

  36. Hahaha!

    I have a clip in molar. Sometimes when I’m tired, I put it on the end table by my side of the bed.
    My last 2 cats would steal it. I’d wake up and hear them playing hockey with it on the wood floor in the long hallway.

    The last time was just after the last lock down. I never found the darn thing. I finally had it replaced – $900.00
