Cats, they have a certain reputation when it comes to being 'sticky fingered'. And while we might not like to admit it openly, that reputation is incredibly true. Because at their core, cats are simple creatures who for some reason have a core belief that they might never get to eat again in their whole lives.

And as such any opportunity to eat or steal food is one that must be taken, with all four paws if possible. Which is how we ended up with this hissterical collection of culinary cat burglars who have been caught in the cat of thieving forbidden food from their pawrents. As though it was not enough that they get fed several times a day with their favorite food. As well as receiving snacks, cuddles and toys. It seems that what they say is true, the tastiest food is the food you just stole from someone else.

  • Is there anything more demoralizing that being a pawrent to an indoor kitty and coming across this scene? For one you know that your delicious ice cream treat is for sure going to full of fur and more than that you know that your cat child’s litter box will soon be full of some of the runniest ‘business’ your cat is capable of producing. And you do not even have any ice cream left to soften the blow…

  • Further proof, if you still needed it that cat children cannot be left alone with slomi, not even for a second. For the second you turn your back, they will be mouth deep in that slomi with more gusto than you can handle.
