7/28/2006: Cat is glove thief



It's axlrosen again with this item: the full story explains, this cat named Willy has stolen all the gloves on that line.

This one-year-old goes around the neighborhood, finds gloves (9 pairs and 5 singles in a number of weeks) and brings them home, leaving them as a gift on the back steps of his house.

A friend, Claudia Bonci, said she was in the Pifers' kitchen recently and had noticed a single gardening glove on the sidewalk.

"Jennifer was telling me all about how Willy was bringing home all these gloves, and there was a small pile of them outside the door, and then here comes the cat with a glove in its mouth, proud as could be, like he was giving me a gift."


Cat owners will identify with that sort of behavior. Some cats are just outgoing:

Despite his criminal nature, neighbors get a kick out of Willy. Cassone said the cat likes to accompany the mailman up and down the block, all the way to each front door. Willy also likes to climb trees and bat at the heads of people below.
