Is you cat a thief?

[Sean]

Who has put some meat out to thaw in the oven and
forgotten that it was in there? Mom put some Pork chops
out that way and then forgot because we went out for dinner.
They were found a few days later because of the smell.

Bella will pack any meat off that she can get to. That is
her 65% side showing up.

Speaking of Bella. I gave her some food today and she was so
in to it that she did not see mom come in. Mom did I don't know
what but it spooked Bella and she went from the counter over my
back as I was leaning down and left me with cat tracks on my back.
We had cat kibble everywhere. It took her about 30 minutes to
clam down. You can tell her mood by the amount of tail fluff.
My back still stings where she dug in for traction. Have to check the
shirt for holes.

Life of a BIG cat owner.

P.S. BTW what do you think of the new Avatar photo I picked?

LOL too funny! The stories are great! Funny how certain cats have different fetishes too. Some like to bat any pen on the counter to the floor just for the joy of knocking it off. Yes we have a sponge thief or two AND one that grabs the rubber flange thingy that blocks the garbage disposal. I didn't even know it came out until Tonka kept running off with it.

My first cat loved to sit in top of my old tv. I had a ceramic snail on there that she was careful around until one afternoon she got mad at me over something I forget. As I sat watching the tv she sat up, looked at me and reached over to the snail and sent it crashing to the floor.

Her favorite thing was plastic bags until she got the handle to a blue one wrapped around her neck, freaked out and went tearing around the apartment yowling as she ran the walls trying to shake the monster off. I had a hell of a time catching her.

The funniest was when she stole part of my lunch. I had made a nice turkey sandwich and put it on a plate with the last of my grandmother's incredible cole slaw. I had to grab the phone briefly and before I could get back to the dining room, she had eaten most of the cole slaw and ignored the turkey sandwich. I couldn't blame her, that cole slaw was truely awesome, but I was sad that there was none left for me.

If something is missing, look in the bathtub in the master bath. According to my cats, that is THE place for stolen booty. That is the only thing the tub is used for!

Our female Savannah was bad about taking things, within a month after we got her she got my toothbrush and would steal shiny pens , the worst was when she took the remote for my corvette off the table and batted it under the tv stand, It took well over a hour to find that one, I learned fast keep your stuff picked up, it's part of having a savannah, she did outgrow that habit FINALY .

At least they make it easy for you to find!

The other day they got into a colander of snap peas I was going to use for dinner. Apparently the peas are fun to bat around the house. Any food item is fair game for being stolen. My husband had a sad reminder of this last night when he lost a tug of war over a piece of pumpkin pie. And any item that is of vital importance to humans, such as car keys, and that can be hidden under and inside of things are especially prized because the cats gain great pleasure from watching us frantically search for the missing items.

Well put Deborah, Does anyone remember that old TV commercial about the army ? they said it's not a job it's a adventure, the same is true about having a savannah, it's not a cat, it's a adventure ! you all know what I am talking about. Deborah is right you can't have just one.

Deborah is right you can't have just one.

Uh, yeah. Next thing you know, you're posting on SVCC about how bad your cat is, and or, how said cat is driving you insane. The problem here is the upright monkeys are gluttons for punishment!

I am a foreman in a printing pressroom and the people I deal with will drive you insane, when I get home I have my 2 spotted friends waiting at the door and one of the first things I do is to sit on the floor with them and unwind while petting and playing with them, they are prone to getting into things but we learned early to keep the house picked up or go find your remote for the car because it was left out, our 2 F3 Savannahs have many toys but they are always looking for more, the worst thing they got was a golf ball that my wife gave them, 2 young savannahs with a golf ball on hardwood floor in the middle of the night sounds like the expressway outside the door, I never seen a savannah cat until late spring 2012 when we got a female from a breeder, 3 or 4 months later we got a male, I showed some pic's to a friend at work that was raised on a farm in upper N.Y. and he said every pic that male is watching you, Cody in the avatar, and watch him back, trouble is brewing. we are very pleased with our 2 Savannah cats as you all in this forum, these are super cats
