My cat is a thief

I'm fascinated by how many complete pairs there are. I wonder if she took them in one trip or not?

They look like work/gardening gloves, so it's conceivable that the owners leave these outside. Cat might just be plundering nearby yards.

The illustration makes this sign so much better.

Whole setup just stinks of glove laundering operation

Mum had a cat that would carry back pairs of shoes and kids toys along socks, gloves, baby clothes, t-shirts etc.

Sometimes the matching item would turn up the night after.

Yup, my cat steals my socks all the time and pulls them deep under the bed. We don't let our cat out of the house, so it's only us (and mostly me) that suffers.

It's Slinky Malinki.

But at night he was wicked and fiendish and sly. Through moonlight and shadow he'd prowl and he'd pry. What was he up to? At night, to be brief Slinky Malinki turned into a THIEF!

One of my kid's fav books. I can recite it by heart.

Those socks you accuse your dryer of losing... Nope was just a cat trying to make you crazy

I love that the black cat is called Esme. I'd say there is a good chance the owner has read the Discworld novels.

I feel the cat's human also now has a hobby.

So many unnecessarily dead birds in this neighborhood :(. Outdoor cats are an order of magnitude more likely to die prematurely from an accident. Keep your cats inside, it will save their life. They are an invasive species!
