An adorable thief- Contradictory evidence, see #45!

[Barbara]

Now just as their purrents Filou and Tigris have friends all over the world. Meet Ruby and Vinnie from New Zealand. They are Burmese and belong to Jennifer who is the daughter of long time friends;)

Of course me with my weak spot for handsome kitties who have Asian ancestors I just think they are adorable. As they are young (sadly their big fluffy adopted brother Larry passed away before they became part of the family) they are playful and cuddly:

But here comes the funniest story: Just like any well educated kitty they will amke sure mom gets a part of the prey. Only that Ruby doesn't bring in mice and other stuff- but toys she steals in the neighborhood.
Here is her collection but we heard that last night she brought a penguin ;)

Jennifer tries to find out where she got it from and give the toys back- but there is constant supply;)

[Sonia59]

Indeed, they are handsome! What a shiny fur they have. I would love to give them a kiss and cuddle :love:

Look at these cute preys!:D Very funny! At home Jasmine sometimes plays with some of Valentine's toys, preferably balls, while Peppito loves the ones that have strings to be pulled:rolleyes: And Valentine sometimes plays with the kitties furry toys. You see, they share :D

[Medusa]

Beautiful kitties indeed!

[Pinot's Mom]

They're beautiful! And so crafty! ;)

It's not the first neighborhood thief - I know I've read of others, but their choices are very cute! They just want to share!:D

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh, Ruby and Vinnie are gorgeous! Furnishings more or less matched to their beautiful fur colours too, I see. :D Very tasteful.
Is that little teddy wearing bloomers???

[catmandu]

Thats so funny that Ruby and Vinnie have decided that your neighborhood is thier own Personal Shopping Network. I would be proud if they chose a Found Cat Toy to add to thier collection!!!
:cool::cool::cool:

[Edwina's Secretary]

Is that little teddy wearing bloomers???

They might be tightie whities...or boxers! :D:D

It looks like Rudy and Vinnie like to hunt...for prey that does not move too fast!:D:D

Which is the gorgeous sable? I suspect Rudy? Rudy is a beauty and soooo adorable back sleeping!!

[Barbara]

Look close, Sara: RuBy is a girl. Would a boy steal a teddybear in knickers?

[lvpets2002]

:love: They are both very Adorable.. great pics thanks

[Edwina's Secretary]

Would a boy steal a teddybear in knickers?

I have met some who would...:rolleyes:;):p

[katladyd]

Very beautiful cats. I love Asian kitties, also.

[Barbara]

BTW- Ruby is the elegant light blue grey lady who looks as if she could never be a cat-burglar while Vinnie is the chocolate one.

[cassiesmom]

Oh, my! Ruby is a beautiful thief! Ruby and Vinnie are gorgeous - so sleek and shiny! Barbara, thank you for sharing these photos with me!

[phesina]

What beauties! Thank you.

[catfamily]

these cats are so precious...just so beautiful :love:
and they seem to be inseperaple by the way they cuddle :)

I think it's sooooo cute how Ruby enjoys the stuffed animals
so much that she steals them! :D

[Barbara]

I think we did not really know what's going on down there in New Zealand: the criminal activities of Ruby and Vinnie are much wider spread than we first thought:

This is Ruby in her White Phase- she always makes sure she steals good quality items.

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1516


The goods stolen get bigger and bigger:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1517

For all who thought her brother is innocent: No he isn't. He is helping when the loot is stuck in the door:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1518

And does anybody of the gentlecat burglars have a bad conscience?
(I don't need to answer that question here)

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1521

[Edwina's Secretary]

They should not be surprised to find a life size stuffed pony next!;) Stieff of course!

[lvpets2002]

:love: Aweee how too Cute & Funny they are.. Well meowmom they are just helping with getting ahead on Christmas Shopping..:D

[Pinot's Mom]

:love: Aweee how too Cute & Funny they are.. Well meowmom they are just helping with getting ahead on Christmas Shopping..:D

I love that! Yes, that's it, it'll all end up under the Christmas tree!!:D

[catfamily]

I am totally cracking up laughing over this!
Gosh I wish there was a video of them in action.
This is hysterical :D
I love this , they are soooooo funny!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

They are master criminals you are in touch with there, Barbara! :eek: I am becoming a little concerned.

[catmandu]

That reminds me of the Shirley Rossaeu Murphy books where Dulcie the Talking Tabby would takes things from the clothes lines of thier neighbors, like lingerie and silk. Your Cats must want to do thier won shopping to save you the expense.
Thats very considerate of them!!!
:love::):cool:

[Edwina's Secretary]

Dear Auntie Barbara,

We wonder...could you get our purrsons to leave a window open? No screen please. We are having a little difficulty getting things through that flappy door. We have some real booty! - absolutely top notch goods - we need to get it inside quick!

Thanks very much...

Ruby and Vinnie

[katladyd]

Dear Pet Talk People, anybody know a good fence out there for this stuff? We'll be discrete, no one will know what we're up to!:D

Sincerely,
Ruby and Vinnie

[Prairie Purrs]

What a delightfully larcenous pair! I hope they've got a good defense attorney. ;)

[cassiesmom]

This sounds like an assignment for Groucho, Kitty Lawyer!

Momcat?

[Randy_K]

These two are hilarious! Imagine if they ever discover a department store (like a WalMart). They'd clean the place out! I imagine the neighborhood children are missing a lot of toys and clothes these days.

You beat me to it!:D

[gini]

I have met some who would...:rolleyes:;):p


There she goes - making snide comments about California again!!:D

[gini]

This is a wonderfully funny thread!

[slick]

:D:D:D:D OMD - I was going to quote some of you but I'm laughing too hard - excuse me while I wipe the spit off my monitor.

[Barbara]

Of course I am easily fooled but by looking at the newest evidence I wonder whether the famous NZ gentlecat burglars could have been framed.

"My heart is a white as this mouse" says Ruby:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1522

" I have never seen this Teddy in my life."

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1523

" Look at Vinnie, he is even scared by that horse somebody brought in."
http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1524

"And why would I have to steal with my own lilywhite pawsies- my purrents love me anyway ;)"

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1526

What do you think- are they innocent?

[catmandu]

Of course they are innocent as pure as the driven snow!!!
:love::love:
Would can you believe that they are nawtee?
They ahve the same expression on thier faces as when something falls to the floor and the Found Cats are witnesses!!!
:eek::eek::eek:

[Pinot's Mom]

INNOCENT! I know they're innocent (at least until proven guilty)! ;)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Of course they are innocent!!! I'm sure that toy that was stuck in the door was put there by some evil cat trying to cause trouble for these beauties. :D :love: (or maybe by Santa who was testing the hole to see how big a gift he could bring through it at Christmas for them) ;)

[Vermontcat]

Ruby and Vinnie are two gorgeous cats!:D
I love their little habit of collecting fuzzy cute things from the neighborhood.
I think they both look perfectly innocent.
They are just telling their owners that they don't have enough cat toys to play with in their home so they have to go find some more toys on their own.;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

LOL Great thread.:D Ruby and Vinnie sure are gorgeous cats and of course they're innocent.:) They're just collecting cat toys that the other cats are tired of playing with.;)

[katladyd]

"Who ya goin' ta beleev, us or your lying eyes?

[carole]

Darn those kiwi kitties are up to no good eh? adorable pics, thanks for sharing Barbara i really enjoyed seeing them.:)

Barbara sent me a pm, telling me they actually belong to a NZ actress here down under.

[Edwina's Secretary]

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1524



I told you they were looking for a pony!!;) What's next? An elephant? Or...a sports car??:D:D

[sasvermont]

Gosh, this story is so darn funny.

I wonder if the robber goes to the same few homes? I find it interesting that the "finds" are baby oriented. Why no gardening gloves or shoes or flip flops, etc.?

I can't stop looking at the loot! I can picture the thief dragging that pony through the neighbourhood and into the cat flap.

Thanks for the funny, funny story. Keep us posted on any new and interesting loot!
:):):):):):)

[Kirsten]

They're adorable! :) And it's so funny what they do! LOL :D

This sounds like an assignment for Groucho, Kitty Lawyer!

Hi Ruby and Vinnie,
I'm concerned that both of you could be looking at some very serious charges here. I will be happy to represent you pro bono if you would like legal representation against what we know are bogus charges. You can contact me on my cell phone or through PT. We need to start putting your defense together as soon as possible.

[Pinot's Mom]

...and Pinot will navigate the Catmobile for your escape - you need a consult with your legal advisor....;)

[Barbara]

Dear Groucho, dear Pinot,
we are so happy that we finally get contacts in the cats' world of law. We are being badly framed:

Look at us here being the innocent and sweet kitties we really are:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1553

Now there are people here who say we are actually hiding to prepare bigger projects. They lure me, Vinnie, into the living room with treats but then I ran into a hidden camera:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1554

And they did the same to my all innocent sister:
http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=1555

They even say she hid her tail to fool the rabbit that she was his mommy.

We have to get away here. Please send the eco-friendly catmobile ( we NZ people are very eco, you know) and get us out before we are put in jail.

The gentlecat burglars, ahm, nooo- that's not what I wanted to write....

Innocent Ruby and Vinnie

[Edwina's Secretary]

The kitty duvet...the stuffies...where did those come from - or should I say from whose home did you snatch those???:D;)

Got receipts? :D

[orangemm]

This is probably one of the funniest threads I have ever read! Those gorgeous cats are feline felons? I can't believe it! Someone must be framing them. The picture with the evidence halfway in and halfway out of the kitty door is hilarious! Looks like they have some nice looking loot!:D

[katladyd]

Are the local police referring to them as the Katz Gang? Or could their crimes fall under, "Asian Feline Gang Activity"?

[momcat]

Hi again Ruby and Vinnie,
I just got home from Cat Court and got a look at your most recent post. Luring you in with treats then using a hidden camera? That is most definitely ENTRAPMENT!!!!! The evidence is now clear, you both have a case. Please get in touch with Pinot or me and give us your exact location. Have either of you been questioned by the police? This is important: do NOT discuss this situation with anyone! As your lawyer, all questions are to be referred to me. I'll be in touch.

Can definately make a case for Entrapment. Listen to your lawyer. sweet
innocents.:D

[Pinot's Mom]

Pinot here - contacts have been made; we'll be joining up with your legal team soon, wait for instructions. The Catmobile is coming!!

[cassiesmom]

Ruby and Vinnie are certainly innocent. And they are definitely beautiful!

[Randi]

They are both so beautiful! How funny that Ruby goes around in the neighborhood stealing all the childrens' toys. :D It must be some detective work finding out who is missing all these toys.

[Vio&Juni]

This is so funny! And they are so cute :)

[momcat]

Pinot here - contacts have been made; we'll be joining up with your legal team soon, wait for instructions. The Catmobile is coming!!

Hi Pinot, Ruby, and Vinnie,

I talked to the local Jaguar dealer yesterday and asked about the Catmobile. I explained we have an emergency situation and might have to leave on a moment's notice. She contacted the very careful Catmobile driver and the on-board vet, they're ready and waiting for our call.

We will be going to Germany to check on our friends Luna and Lily because they just might need our help too.

I convinced Meowmie to order extra fried chicken and crab legs for us. Please check in with me as soon as you can, fellow kitties.
