Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Pelham cat thief a specialist
Not a thief that steals cats, but a cat that is a thief: http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060722/NEWS02/607220308/1269 Fair use excerpt: By LESLIE KORNGOLD THE JOURNAL NEWS (Original publication: July 22, 2006) PELHAM Willy the cat steals gardening gloves. He sneaks into back yards and has deposited more than two dozen on owner Jennifer Pifer's front porch since spring. "This all started about the time people began working in their gardens, I guess March or April," Pifer said. "There was just more and more."

"There was just more and more." Sounds like a pretty easy specialty. I know I tend to take my gloves off and throw them on the ground when I quit. An observant cat would have a field day. That and the bin the gloves go in is pretty open and they usually need to dry out after they've been used. Jo > > Not a thief that steals cats, but a cat that is a thief: The freakiness of cats never ceases to amaze me. It's like how Nocturne will only start doing bad things when we /return/ from a long absense. She's good while we're gone, and when we get BACK she starts knocking over the lamps, eating the cactuses and otherwise being nasty. She wants us to KNOW she's doing it on purpose to punish us! --Fil starts knocking over the lamps, eating the cactuses and > otherwise being nasty. > --Fil I still can't quite believe she ate a cactus!

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs It was a really spiny one, too. That didn't seem to bother her, neither, erm, going in nor coming out. She's hardcore. --Fil Who notes, however, that Nox has not eaten one since. Her latest b!stard cat trick involves snubbing the person who has snubbed her, ie refusing to be in the room with them, etc. even sleeping on dylan's head, she will put her BACK to his head, not her tummy, when it is the day after he has left her alone overnight. And she'll go out of her way to point her arse at his face. --Fil > starts knocking over the lamps, eating the cactuses and >> otherwise being nasty. > >> --Fil > > I still can't quite believe she ate a cactus! Frank used to chew on a cactus I had. Eventually, I had to throw out the cactus because he had demolished most of it. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

It goes on the say that in the winter he will take socks from her owners laundry and carry them around the house.

Hehe. Just look at those paws. They are so ready to be put on something that doesn't belong to him. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

"In winter, when gardening gloves are hard to find, Willy switches to his offseason prey, dirty socks, which he brings from the laundry room." "Despite his criminal nature, neighbors get a kick out of Willy. Cassone said the cat likes to accompany the mailman up and down the block, all the way to each front door. Willy also likes to climb trees and bat at the heads of people below."

He does sound like he would fit right in with the cats you hear about on this group. :) > Not a thief that steals cats, but a cat that is a thief: > http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060722/NEWS02/607220308/1269 He's adorable. Still looks kittenish, or like a gangly adolescent. And what a personality! I would've expected him to be a Burmese, or some other breed with pronounced quirks and habits. But he's an ordinary moggie. It's nice to hear that the neighbors take it in stride. Joyce |
