I think my cat stole someone's Sunday lunch

No I caught him myself - the cat, that is 😀

My parents actually met because my dad had a whippet that stole a pork pie from someone's table in the pub she was working as a bar maid in 😬

My dog once ate my birthday cake, at my party. My mum was absolutely livid.

The only thing my cat ever brought me was a lone sock from next door.

My mums neighbour told us the cat had eaten her Linda McCartney sausages that were cooling on the counter.

My tiny little black cat grew up with my German Shepherds, she used to climb on their backs when they were resting, do the claw digging thing and get fast asleep while they were long suffering and unable to move until she did. She would come in when they were lying by the fire and look at them to make them move so she could sleep tummy up closest to the fire. We are in a big dog walking area and she would sit outside to watch the dogs go past and go total apeshit on any dog that dared to bother her. Gnarly little puss. Died at 18, much missed.

I am loving this thread, all these tales of feline (and doggy) enterprising raids and villainy. I have had a few cats but none of them have ever brought things home. However, I know someone whose cat is obsessed with KFC and brings bits home On one occasion they even returned with some bits in a box. How they got it through the cat flap remains a mystery.

My mum's ragdoll once seized the small gammon she had cooling on the side and headed off with it, fortunately she spotted her 😂

My ragdoll helped herself to the mince off one of DHs pasta bolognaises he'd made and had cooling on the side - she came upstairs and had orange on her white chin so I knew what had happened - went down and she'd torn the cling film, hoovered up some mince and left him the rice under it 😂

There's a thread on another forum I'm on called "the worst thing the cat's done" it's brilliant. I also love Bunnies are arseholes on FB, some of the things they've done!

whenhe was young he would bring grasshoppers put them under the carpet/cats bring thing to you as gifts
same cat 2 years later different house went down the road to a scap yard and would leave fresh rat body for ever morning
it was skinned had to wait till he left to put in the burnbarrel
if not he would bring it back for mom
one down the street steals shoes and underwear like 25 more more dont know the count now

I had half an avocado and prawn bap taken out of my hand by a passing dog. It didn't even break step, either. Quite impressive timing, really.

Tbf, reading the thread it was fine until the ‘cat lovers’ themselves lowered the tone. Why not keep it lighthearted like the actual op with the stolen food, and not laugh about the time your cat slaughtered your neighbours guinea pigs/hamsters/birds/fish etc. It really is not funny. You don’t have to be a cat lover to not appreciate that

My cat, who is a weirdo, once brought home an unopened bag of Skips. I have no idea where he got it, I just hope he didn’t mug a small child!

That is very sweet, cats are bonkers and so entertaining

My cat has come home with a chicken wing and a sausage on separate occasions.. hopefully not stolen from someone's house or BBQ 🙈

I don't like cats but a cat stole my roast pork once and I thought it was funny.

But it's very annoying seeing people laughing at how their cats tormented neighbours, or how they killed peoples pets. Some cat owners have horrible attitudes.

BTW, this thread showed up on 'trending', I don't look at what message board threads were posted on.

Oh great, the cat haters have found the part of mumsnet devoted to cat lovers.

I think you were the crazy neighbour.

One of our cats used to bring us rubbish, empty crisp packets mainly but he mixed it up with tin foil which he also liked. I suspect it was from next door's bin.

One memorable day we were watching tv and a toad hopped out from under the tv stand. I suspect I know how it got there, I certainly didn't bring it in.

One of my early dates with now DH we went to a country pub for lunch after walking my Jack Russell. Mid way through our meal I had finished my glass of wine and DH went to get me another. I'd been holding the dog on a short lead under the table when he shot up and grabbed the burger off DH's plate, got it to the floor and swallowed it whole. DH came back to half a toasted bun. The table next to us saw it all and were waiting for his reaction. I'm sure they still tell the tale now. It was then I knew he was a keeper and the Jack Russell was a bit of a bugger for his whole life.

People laugh at this stuff when cats do it but if someone said their dog bit a cat then people go mad and say the dog needs to be put down.

Tennyson will eat just about anything. I took a liquorice allsort off him last week. The only human foods he's repulsed by are cauliflower and banana so far.

One of ours brought a corn on the cob, still in its husk. We're vegetarian, so that was thoughtful!

My cat once brought an actual WIG through the cat flap once. It was filthy and in a right state so I couldn't tell what quality it was. To this day I very much hope it was just a kids dressing up wig 😬.

@Fiddlerdragon so sorry for what happened xx

One of mine is an absolute sod

She will eat anything we leave out briefly, through the packaging. Meat off a boxed pizza, cake through the box and cellophane, crisp packets I think she thinks they might be cat food, so each is pierced and checked.

But her latest trick is stealing cat food pouches from neighbours houses, dragging them home and eating them in our garden, I’ve cleared up 10 empty chewed foil pouches since Christmas.

Then we get the sad face local FB posts, anyone know this cat, she’s starving, crying in our garden? The sod. She’s 6kg and is well fed.
