Is your cat a "thief"?

[AlleyCat]

Groucho is a good little guy and tends to check things out rather than run off with something he shouldn't have. But there is one major exception. If I'm not careful or really paying attention, Groucho will run off with my hearing aid. For some reason he's completely fascinated with it. Most of the time I take it off, clean it, then put it right in the case. Groucho will then paw at the case and give the most pathetic meow as if the greatest cat toy in the world is being kept from him.

That happened to a friend of mine, only it wasn't a cat and it was a dog, so he didn't just run off with the hearing aid, he chewed the thing to pieces! (That's one expensive toy !!!!!!)

YES! Boomer takes off with everything he can possibly carry. Everything from my cell phone to pens, tools and screws + he just loves USB cords for some reason.

Sometimes those things go flying out the window - that's mostly toys, though, and it doesn't happen too often anymore.

He managed to steal the USB cord from one of my digicams. I've never found it...so I think it died a horrible death by being dumped from a 3rd floor window.

He also just loves to steal things from the bathroom shelves. Especially things he thinks smell nice.

My Sasha will take anything that may be lying around and play with it.... that is until she "bats" it under some piece of furniture! Usually this happens in the middle of the night while Meowmie is sleeping or while Meowmie is at work! Silly girl! Sashie has been known to take my hair ties, an empty pill bottle that was on the counter as a reminder for me to get the refill done, a watch, and even a contact case, complete with a brand new pair of contacts. The pill bottle was found, as was the contact case (almost a year later when I moved the entertainment center for its yearly cleaning underneath) and the watch is still missing after more than a year!

But I do realize that all of this is my own fault.... after all, I was the one that left each item within reach and we all know that anything that isn't out of sight can be a toy in the eyes of our kitties!

Oh yes my girls are taking off with stuff all the time.. Then there was Autumn that took off with my sandwich bread off my plate that time.. Whats the funniest is to watch them thieve things back & fourth between them selves..
