The celebrations went well but in the middle of it all, someone noticed their family pet cat to be missing. They searched for the cat inside the house but no luck.

<p>Cats are cute, furry little mercenaries, who love to murder birds, rats and Christmas trees. But have you ever heard of a kleptomaniac kitty who is very much into stealing?</p>

<p>One New Zealand cat has a reputation as a talented thief.&nbsp;Keith began his crime wave three years ago. In the past, the fiendish cat snatched a corrections officer's shirt, swimsuits, washing lines, steel-toe boots, bras, shoes, and live eels.</p>

<p>During the summer festive season, when longer days are synonymous with more loot, the infamous 5-year-old black cat roams his quiet Christchurch suburb, committing burglary after burglary.</p>

<p>In recent months, however, his stealthy paws have discovered some of the more risque items owned by Hoon Hay's households.</p>

<p>He began his downward spiral a month ago. It was a surprise for Ginny and David Rumbold when Keith presented them with a bong and white powder.</p>

<p>Immediately, Ginny disposed of the paraphernalia that might implicate the pilfering pussy, and she spoke strongly against a druggie lifestyle.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Keith seems not to have been receptive to her message, and now she is concerned about where he's hanging out and who he's hanging out with.</p>

<p>Ginny Rumbold, who first reported Keith's criminal activities to news website Stuff, told the news website: "I told him diamonds and cash would be better." However, that has not yet happened.</p>

<p>Ginny and David have tried their best to keep Keith on track as any parent of a troubled teen would. The only result of confining him to the house is a naked Christmas tree when they arrive at home.</p>

<p>The Rumbolds have resorted to leaving their cat's stolen goods in two plastic boxes outside their front gate so that neighbours can come to pick them up. Returning the goods has proved an ineffective deterrent with Keith, repeatedly stealing the same items.</p>

<p>Among Keith's favourite things to steal are steel-toed boots worn by a builder. Never one to do things halfway, he would take one shoe home first, then return for the second.</p>

<p>The builder became so frustrated that he put weights inside each boot but to no avail. The pilfering kitty nonetheless managed to drag the boots home between his front legs.</p>

<p>Besides taking the man's boots, Keith stole his underwear and once took a full load of washing.</p>

<p>Locals are more amused than annoyed by the cat's kleptomania, according to Ginny Rumbold. Nevertheless, Keith's recent thefts have brought him to the attention of the police.</p>

<p>A police spokesperson noted Keith's latest discovery was of particular concern - a device used to smoke cannabis. Our team will take possession of the implement and "speak with" Keith about where he’s acquired it from, he added.</p>

A police spokesperson noted Keith's latest discovery was of particular concern - a device used to smoke cannabis. Our team will take possession of the implement and "speak with" Keith about where he’s acquired it from, he added.

<p>The Russian Blue has a genetic mutation which caused her&nbsp;to sprout an extra pair of ears. According to reports, the deformation has been linked to a recessive gene mutation from her parents.</p>

<p>Midas' four ears aren't the only unique features on her body. The cat also has an adorable white heart-shaped mark on its belly.&nbsp;</p>

According to reports, the deformation has been linked to a recessive gene mutation from her parents. Midas' four ears aren't the only unique features on her body. The cat also has an adorable white heart-shaped mark on its belly.

A gigantic billboard in one of Tokyo's busiest areas featuring a 3D cat that appears perched on a ledge is attracting people to take out their smartphones and snap an Instagram-worthy photo or video. The realistic-looking cat in 4K resolution appears between advertisements on a 154.7 square metre LED screen on top of a building in front of Shinjuku train station, meowing at people walking by.

Covid common in pet dogs and cats, reveals study

<p>They say that a cat has nine lives. This cat probably just has eight left now. Today let us tell you the story of a cat who played with fire – literally in this case.</p>

<p>Let’s set the scene, imagine a burning building. The building in our story is in Chicago, where firefighters are frantically trying to douse the fire. There were people all around, some were documenting the whole thing when someone noticed a cat jump out of a fifth-floor window!</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-cat-survives-after-jumping-from-5th-floor-385139/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Yes, we are not kidding you, this heroic or stupid feat was captured on video.</p>

<p>In the video, you can see a black cat suddenly emerging from among the flames, and jumping to the ground, all of five stories down. On its way down the cat missed a wall, and landed squarely on its feet, in a patch of grass.</p>

<p>According to onlookers, the brave cat bounced once and then just walked it off, no one knows where to.</p>

Russia vs Saudi Arabia: Cat Achilles predicts winner of opener match

<p>At an unlikely cat shelter in rebel-held northern Syria, Mohammed Alaa al-Jaleel gently holds a feline patient on her back as an ultrasound probe is rolled across her pregnant belly. In a time of war, she is one of hundreds to have received medical attention at the makeshift animal clinic in Kafr Naha, an opposition-held town in Aleppo province. “If you want to show mercy to people, start by showing mercy to everything else,” says Jaleel, who runs Ernesto’s Cat Sanctuary-named after his favourite furry friend.</p>

<p>The 43-year-old, who grew up in Syria’s second city Aleppo, has been mad about cats since he was a boy. As a young adult in the city, he would drop by the butchers on his way home from work as an electrician to ask for scraps to feed street cats in his neighbourhood. When war broke out in 2011, he put down his tools to become an ambulance driver to help ferry the wounded-but never stopped bringing food to his feline friends.</p>

<p>As the war raged on and cat lovers fled the city, Jaleel was left with 170 cats to feed and a new nickname: the Cat Man of Aleppo. With the help of donations from friends and social media fans, he set up his first cat sanctuary in the city. But in late 2016, the regime ramped up its deadly bombardment of Aleppo’s opposition-held neighbourhoods as it sought to regain control of the whole city. “We started fleeing from neighbourhood to neighbourhood until, in the end, we escaped the city altogether,” Jaleel recalls.</p>

<p>Determined not to leave them behind, he and fellow feline fans managed to save 22 of the city’s cats. “We gave each family two cats in a plastic vegetable basket,” Jaleel says. Among them was Sukhoi, named after the stealth fighter jets of regime ally Russia. “He would zip in and grab food from right under the noses of the other cats, just like a Sukhoi jet,” he said. Syria’s war has killed more than 350,000 people and displaced more than half its pre-war human population, as well as many of its domestic animals.</p>

<p>After fleeing Aleppo, Jaleel set up his second shelter-named after Ernesto-in early 2017 and housed 18 of the 22 smuggled cats in the animal oasis. “The cats don’t just stay in just one house. They swap with each other and sleep in all of them,” Jaleel says, referring to rows of marble cubes with cat-sized entrances, engraved with names like Pouncer and Rose. Nearby, a grinder churns out streams of bright pink mincemeat that is then scooped out onto plates spread out on the ground for lunchtime.</p>
