I don't know why we call good human thieves 'Cat Burglars' when actual cats are so used useless at stealing stuff. Bin raided for completely empty wet cat food pouches. She's got them out and didn't know where to go from there.

Note the 'if I'm not looking at you I didn't do it' trick she's playing here. I'm sure that flies in an interrogation room too. Useless I tell you.

Cats are also really bad at stealth attacks. I mean it might work with birds when they do it in high grass, but for bigger targets: "Hello, I can see you wiggling your arse!"
And don't even get me started on the whole sitting behind a curtain thing 😹

@m0xee We've got one cat who is seriously good at stealth, but she lived feral before we adopted her so she gets squirrels, birds which are basically as big as her, I'm expecting a fox soon.

But the one in the picture is not that cat...

@HipPriest My cats a probably even more out of touch than average housecats, it's such a breed — they are like Siamese cats with short tails (one of my cats doesn't have a tail at all, only a bump) they are very beautiful and intelligent — they come when you call for them and can even be trained to fetch small things, and also mild mannered, but very clumsy — they can fall off the bed when rolling, what they say about catlike grace isn't applicable to them at all. But I love their silly frolics😸

@m0xee I'm loving their clothing! They're frankly better dressed than me most days

@HipPriest
Oh, yes, they don't have thick fur so they love wearing these sweaters when it gets colder and I'm happy to oblige because if I don't they start gathering around things radiating warmth — like computers, which I'm not always comfortable with 😼
