My thieving cats stole £300 hoard from neighbours including bras and designers shoes – I’m mortified
THE owner of two kleptomaniac cats has told how her pets have stolen £300 worth of clothes from her neighbours.
Donna Hibert is trying to return the items, which include bras and designer shoes, to their rightful owners.
In just the last week, one of her cats, Harry, has managed to nab six items from her neighbours in Darley Abbey, Derbyshire.
Now she has taken to Facebook to show locals what they may be missing.
She wrote: “So my cats are thieves and have brought many objects through the cat flap over the years.
“I have a baseball cap, sausages, cat meat pouches, slippers, socks and even a shoe!

“Over the past two weeks, they have brought me the pictured!
“I thought I best start posting the treats on here because somewhere there is someone thinking they have gone mad with misplacing things! You haven’t!
“It’s my cats and I can only apologise. If the belongings are yours and want them back, do PM me.”
“I’ve also had elastic bands, dishcloths, sponges, tea towels, crisp packets. The list goes on!

“I do often wonder if anyone has seen them running along with such items in their mouths and what they make of it.”
She believes Harry has stolen about £300 worth of items over the years.
She explained: "There was a red shoe, and it was quite an expensive brand," she said.
"The sports bras are from M&S so they are not going to be cheap.
"We had a purse the other day but nothing was in it."
It comes after a rescue kitten taken in 1991 is in line to be crowned the world’s oldest living cat.
Rosie, a fluffy-tailed tortoise-shell, is due to celebrate her 32nd birthday on June 1.
She has been taken to see a vet only twice in her life and now whiles away her days dozing in the window of Lila Brissett’s first-floor flat in Norwich.
Widow Lila, 72, said Rosie must be older than Flossie, a 27-year-old cat recognised as the world’s oldest by Guinness World Records.
