I think my cat stole someone's Sunday lunch

These are so funny 😆😆

I feel like if humans were this determined to achieve a UPF free diet, we'd be well impressed with their resourcefulness!

My childhood cat showed up with a goldfish very obviously out of someones pond once. Pleased as punch with herself of course.

Years ago my cat come through the cat flap on Christmas Day with a whole roast potato steam coming out as it was straight from the oven hot.

In the next 30 minutes he reappeared with

• a thick slice of roast turkey
• a Yorkshire pudding
• a stuffing ball

No idea if it was all from same kitchen or whether he was going from house to house building a Christmas dinner 🤣

I only get dead mice, rats, or squirrels

What a beautiful picture of Buster!

@Littlewhitecat my cat too brought back a rat in trap but couldn't get it over the very tall fence. All I kept thinking was there is a neighbour wondering their traps have disappeared too from their gardens!'

Your thread made me laugh, OP. My cat once brought back a bag with sandwich, crisps and banana enclosed - he'd obviously nabbed someone's lunch. I'll give it to him, he had to jump over our 6ft with it!

My dog is a very naughty cockapoo , had a couple of embarrassing episodes . I’d not long had him as an 8 month old rescue and we have a huge beach near us. Thought I’d let him off lead for a run about and he made a bee line for an elderly gentleman who had just sat down with his nicely wrapped up sandwiches. He had just opened them and my dog ran straight up, took his sandwich from his lap and out of grabbing distance bolted the whole lot in seconds . The poor old geezer didn’t stand a chance, I was mortified . The second time he misbehaved was when my husband took him to the same beach. A man was swimming and had left his clothes on the beach. I wasn’t there but DH said he ran over to the clothes grabbed his socks and ran up the beach with them ignoring my husbands shouts . He eventually managed to prise them back from the dogs jaws a fair way from where he had stolen them and was hoping to get them back on the clothes pile before the guy in the sea noticed , horror of horrors , he saw the guy get out of the sea and was making his way back . My husband had to hand him the chewed socks!

Mine did too!! As a kitten! It was the first thing that she caught and I was so proud of her!

We also had one who was hopeless at catching his own birds and mice.
Buster was always really proud of himself for bringing in long-dead prey.

I smiled when I read the title! Cats are amazing!

You have to share a picture!

Keep an eye on your local Facebook group, if it's anything like mine you'll have a still of your cat from their camera with a disingenuous 'does anyone know whose wee cat this is?' caption. 😆

We were having family over for Boxing day several years ago and had bought a nice joint of beef. Except someone didn't shut the fridge door properly and I came downstairs on Christmas morning to find four cats tucking into a partially defrosted joint of beef! Obviously, the shops were shut as it was Christmas day and I had nothing to feed the family with the next day - fortunately, the in laws, who always have a well stocked freezer came to the rescue

These days, we have two cats. I have never worked out which of them was responsible for the dead squirrel I found in my house one morning. We don't have cat flap, so they must have sneaked past me unnoticed with it in it's mouth

In fact, DH once cooked a leg of lamb, then decided to take it upstairs to the bedroom to eat it.

I have never worked out why he did this. I was away working at the time.

Anyway - he placed the leg of lamb on the floor beside the bed, then went to get a can of beer.

When he got back, he discovered Toby eating his way through the leg of lamb.

Our cat used to regularly bring home baguettes - even dragging them backwards through the cat flap! He left them proudly on the mat meowing loudly to announce his arrival home with his booty!

We had absolutely no idea where he got them from as asked our neighbours - we lived in a small close where we knew everyone and no other houses for about a mile!

Cats are ridiculous. There was one year ours kept bringing us BBQd goods. She wasn't even eating it, she was just bringing it and leaving it in the kitchen for us. I don't know where she was going, as none of our immediate neighbours were BBQing.

My cat is terrible for things like this. He came back a couple of weeks ago with a chicken wing off someone’s dinner but your cat has beaten him with the whole thing 😂

Our first cat, Toby, jumped up on to the table and stole a chicken leg off DD's plate when he was a kitten.

He ran upstairs with it, hell for leather, in case we tried to get it back.

Here he is, older and still unrepentant.

Was the Rabbit called Gerald? 🤣

My ex's two cats once dragged a muddy, leaf covered warm leg of lamb through his cat flap. The poor people who must have ben resting it on the side..he too was mortified but didn't know quite where it had come from. They must have tag teamed it over and under fences.

My sister was woken one night with a load banging coming from downstairs. She tentatively went down to investigate and found her cat trying to come through the cat flap with a huge dead (wild) rabbit. It was so big, puss ended up reversing and trying to come in with it backwards.

(Wild?! It would have been furious! 🤣)

My dad was a subpostmaster. We had a stray who moved in with us called Panda and she decided to go to work with Dad everyday. She loved it there because people brought her treats but she was an unbelievably good thief. Customers often came to the post office after the supermarket and if they didn't take heed of the warning signs about Panda, their ham would be gone. She was crazy for ham, could smell it a mile off and could remove it deftly from the depths of a bag before anyone noticed. Dad often had to give customers money for their ham. Most of then wised up after a while and kept a hand on their bags.

In another incident, some workmen were sitting in a van outside the post office with the window open. They were relaxing and enjoying their ham sandwiches until Panda jumped in through the window, stole the sandwich out of one of the men's hands and legged it. Dad went out and offered then some money for the stolen sandwich.

Bobby liked to go fishing and stole coy carp from a neighbour three or four times until the neighbour put a net on the pond.
He also brought in frozen salmon fillets from somewhere and pieces of raw chicken.

I had a duck all prepped to put in the oven. On the kitchen counter, covered in foil. Went to open the door. Found my geriatric, very unwell cat sitting on the duck licking it lovingly when I returned to the kitchen....

Couldn't be mad at the cat, this was in the last few weeks of her life and we all knew it. I bought another duck and she had a very nice roast duck dinner that evening.

My cat came home with a half side of salmon from M&S! Still in the wrapper so my mum cooked it and we had it for tea!

I used to have the same problem. I really couldn't face the embarrassment of reuniting neighbours with their underwear😦
