Cat Burglar Becomes Headache For Owner
LONDON (Reuters) - The thieving habits of a tomcat named Tommy have become a
headache for his British owner, who worries that people may think she
groomed her pet to be a cat burglar.
After slipping out through the catflap at night, Tommy has returned with all
manner of stolen goods, including shoes, designer clothes, a bag of coins
and a golf umbrella, British newspapers said on Friday.
``It was funny at first but the haul just got more and more adventurous,
with matching pairs of expensive trainers,'' Ali Daffin of Taunton in
southwestern England told the Mirror.
Daffin reckons Tommy's ``modus operandi'' is to slip into other people's
catflaps but she has not been able to track down the owners of the 50 items
her pet has dragged home.
``It's becoming embarrassing,'' she told the Mirror. ``It looks like I've
trained him.''
