Oscar stands in front of his "booty"
A couple in Southampton have reported their cat to local police after realizing that he was stealing dozens of pairs of underwear from neighbors’ yards.
The couple had recently adopted the cat, named “Oscar,” from a local shelter over Christmas, but as he became more comfortable in their home, he started bringing stolen underwear into their house.
Police estimate that he had amassed a treasure of over 70 items, most of which were underwear, from the neighborhood in recent weeks. Recently, his owner decided to turn the cat in, fearing that neighbors would believe they were being robbed, especially with the majority of his loot being women and children’s underwear.
Oscar’s owner adds that it’s still a mystery where he was getting the children’s underwear, as there are no kids living nearby. He believes that Oscar intended for the items to be gifts to him and his wife, showing gratitude for being adopted. full story
Chairman Meow Says: It appears that Oscar’s “owner” was the mole all along. This mission haz been compromised. All kittehs involved in “operation bootylicious” immediately report to your local contact for new instructions. All underwear containing launch codes must be destroyed. Do you read me? The list iz in the OPEN… Abort! That’s an order! I repeat, abort!

Awesome. Are they sure that the cat’s owner had nothing to do w/ the underwear being taken. I think he’s making the cat a scape goat. They should see if any of those kids are locked in his basement.
it was very interesting to read about cats.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter? I help people get their myFICO scores.
long live Chairman Meow!
I just stumbled upon your blog and this entry. I had a white and black kitty named Kittenly (passed to the Rainbow Bridge several years ago) who was my first — and best — cat burglar. Socks, underwear, you name it. She particularly enjoyed taking clean clothing items out of drawers, as opposed to items out of the dirty laundry. Go figure.
Five years ago we found a tiny kitten in the neighborhood on the street (about 3 weeks old, the same age as when Kittenly was found abandoned in a warehouse). His name is Dice and he, took, is a burglar, but also quite picky. He is into knitted items, particularly the items I make. There is something about a hand knit or hand crocheted item. He is particularly fond of anything made out of Lion Brand’s Homespun.
I likes to stealing the undies, too. Mommy closes closet door now after I paraded through living room full of guests with her bloomers. This is side activity in my spare time. Actually I is beagle revolutionary, bent on fomenting rebellion. But chonies is nice, too. Chonies and chaos goes well together, don’t you think?
