Meet Jack the Klepto Cat
My sister owns a klepto cat, Eddie, whose haul to date has included a T-Bone steak (hot off someone’s grill), a baby chick (intact), and the odd clothing items. So I know klepto cat stories are true. Here’s a recent video report on Jack, a klepto cat in Idaho, who’s brought home two towels, a stuffed duck, and 27 pairs of gloves. Here’s the vid:

My outside pal Squint has brought the occasional mouse, a fried chicken leg, an intact but reallly stiff tortilla….and a baby’s sock.
(No word if he actually took it off some neighborhood baby.)
Jack is just too cute! And his mom is even cuter! hehe such a sweet lady
That’s so funny never heard of a cat doing that before. Mum thinks he’s way too cute.
What’s with “If I did decide to make him stop, how would I?” THAT SO SIMPLE — keep him inside!! Cat’s don’t need to go outside. DOH!
“If I did decide to make him stop, how would I?”
Well, you can keep him inside for starters. He would be a lot safer and so would the birds.
Our mom made our backyard enclosed and it is possible to do!! I’m not allowed out there at night tho…
That is too funny! Jack is adorable! Reminds me of one of my Meowmy’s earlier kitties who would steal her…erm…clean under garments from the laundry basket & stash them under the bed in a pile to sleep on!
