There's a saying that goes “honest as a cat when the meat's out of reach”- those adorable furballs might purr and beg for a scratch behind the ears, but as soon as you turn your back, they're back to their scheming ways. Here's a list of cats that have been caught red-pawed in the act of stealing a tasty morsel.
In truth, owners should be mindful when their cats try to get their paws on human food. Their digestion works differently from ours, and many foods, even ones they love, like milk, can give them upset stomachs or worse. Chocolate and onions are especially dangerous, and should be kept tucked away far out of reach.

No, it's the same cat. My cat has the same kind of eyes and their colour varies depending on the light and so on.

That's a great shot! I can never get cool action shots of my kitteh. He stops being interesting as soon as there's a camera

I hope that kitty didn't get caught up in that ribbon that appears tied to the shelf... :(

Milk Burglars
Dallas Robson 11 years ago
my cats used to be more dignified. They would put in the paw and delicately skim the milk and then sit and lick it off.
