    NASCAR cat or NASCAT-

    Instead of single pass in the home this is a series of passes or laps made during the cleanup of a house. Often ends with a yellow flag caution
    when household objects fall onto the track.

    See FLYBY-

    It is a nicer term than steal! I've made many a kitty go *POOF* into the night LOL! Confiscate works too. Glad to see one of my purrsonal favorites..."truffles" made the final cut too!
