Help, I'm A Kleptomanicat

Hi Jack, I haven't tried coathangers. They sound like fun. My humans seem to hide them, though. Hmmmm...

They mock me, too...they call me crazy kitty, and little maniac, but know what? I get back at Mum

she freaks out when I play on the stairs and hang over the edge at her...she's afraid I'll fall off, but that's just silly -- I'm a caaaaaaaaaaaaaaT

Aloha Jack!

Hi, I'm LuckyGirl!

I too can be a klepto, although I don't really think it's a bad thing if your taking all of your own stuff right?!

I have what I call a graveyard for my crinkle balls. I put them under the bed, my Meowmy has these pull out racks for her shoes, and I put all my crinkle balls under there.

This way, the parents buy me new ones!

My meowmy also referrs to me as the sock monster.

I find this a little upsetting because I am not a monster, I am a beautiful young lady, who just happens to have a sock fetish. Nothing wrong with that right? Oh, and I only like clean socks, as in I steal them right from the laundry basket while they are still warm from the dryer.

PS....lucky for you I have a thing for bad boys!!!

Ha! This is so funny!

Serenity has a special "stash", as well, behind the fan, where she'll hide all sorts of items that she's stolen away..toys, socks, pens, etc., and yes, even cotton balls!

Here is Serenity in her little hiding spot!

Hi Jack. My name is Rowdy and I stash things, too.

A couple of Christmases ago, Mom took down the tree (such lovely toys) and moved the couch. She found the 27 ornaments, a dozen miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, several hair ties and milk bottle rings, that I had stashed under there and took them ALL away. She put away the ornaments and it was a WHOLE YEAR, before I got a chance to get some more

Since then, she also puts the candy in dishes, with lids and I can't get to it.

I can just picture a sweet little kitty going into a bar with his pack of smokes, his lighter and his cash! One catnip martini coming up!!!

I never would have thought to stash and hide my toys. I much prefer to steal food. Like last week, meowmy and her friend were eating something that smelled wonderful...i think they called it...um..STAKE??? Well, silly friend looked away and I managed to grab a hold of the end of it, and made a dash for the closet. Darnit if meowmy didn't catch me, and take it away. She will never find where I hid that muffin she has out for breakfast this morning though....

Funny thread

Our local ball player (pawball player?) just loses his balls under the fridge and behind furniture, but never stashes them on purpose.

My name is Jamie, and I'm a kleptomanicat. I like to steal guitar picks and Christmas tree ornaments, which I stash under the living room rug. I used to keep them under the stereo, but Daddy threw that away, so now I have to use the rug and couches.

I found a new toy today! While I was on the counter, there was this litle white ball just sititting there, it was kinda like the egg from the other day. I knocked it onto the floor and batted it around. I'ts great! It smells funny but it makes a "crinkly" noise and is a lot of fun.

Of course "he" came over and took it away again. I was once again verbally disparaged. What does it mean when "he" says, "I bet you'd go good with a little garlic for 20 minutes at 350?"

My cat friends, what is Garlic?

evidently, it's something not good for us, because my meowmy wouldn't let me lick her dish the other night because she said it had 'garlic' in it

Jack, this is 8-Bit. My meowmy says that I have destroyed three bags of her "baking" flour. Now this is just silly, she was the one who left them out! What is a kitty to do if a bag of flour is just sitting around?

Is that Sierra's catnip apple I see in Serenity's "stash"?

colin · Sep 11, 2006

Hmmm, we've been moved! I'm just a cat and there are sooooo many subforums here I get confused!

rapunzel47 · Sep 11, 2006

Yeah, Jack, I got kinda absorbed in our conversation last night, and forgot to mention that we cats tend to gather here in Paws and Reflect to socialize, ya know. I don't come in all that often, just hang out and watch, but your exploits kinda took my fancy, and I couldn't help myself. See whatcha did to me?

Love
Fawn

colin · Sep 12, 2006

I couldn't help myself. Please remember I have a sickness, and it's not my fault. Today I tried to frame little "miss goody two shoes."

I'm sick of all the attention she gets. "They" are always walking around speaking nicely to her and what do I get? Scoldings and name calling!

I went up into the sink and pulled some shells out. Then I took them down to the floor and "egged" her on. Soon she was playing with the egg shells too. With a little encouragement, she was off to the dining room with the shells in her mouth. Ha! She was even dumb enough to "present" it to them on the table. I waited for them to call her names and scold her.

I waited....

and waited.......

Finally I could sense it coming. "They" looked at the shells, looked at "miss goody two shoes", looked at the shells.... and..... said.....

"ah how cute, look what she brought us!" WHAT is that it!? Where is the scolding, where are the reprimands, where is the JUSTICE?

Then to top it all off, "they" started looking around for me! "They" accused me of "planting" the evidence!

LOL, I love this!

Yes, but I fear we'll die a slow death here! Till we were moved her, I'd never been to "Paws and Reflect"

I dont have time to look in every sub forum! I have to steal candy, scrunchies, hair clips, and my latest greatest find: Bread In a Bag

Awww, Jack! That stinks.

I would have posted this morning when I read your message, but just as I was thinking about what to say, the dumb ol' human said "Time to shut down! Mum's got to go catch mousies." "Catch mousies"??? What's she talking about? She never brought home a mousie, not one! I'm the one who brings home mousies! Guess she just wants us to know it's something important she's going to do. But what -- I say, WHAT -- could be more important than tending our whims...catch mousies, indeed!

But I digress. Jack, how disappointing that your humans seek to lay the blame on you.

YOU didn't put the shells under their noses!

Why ever would they think you had anything to do with their appearance?

I find wide-eyed innocence useful -- I do it quite well, if I say so myself

-- but they do still mutter amongst themselves in a suspicious fashion.

So, Jack, have you found a new place for your stash? We used to bat stuff under the stove. Only trouble with that is then we can't get it until the human pulls out the drawer. Then they put a long tube thing in the way and we can even bat stuff under there anymore. Party poopers!
