Taboo is a real-life cat burglar.
The black and white feline has the bad habit of repeatedly stealing her neighbors' clothes, according to SWNS.
Taboo's pet parent, Sandra Danskin, told the outlet that the 12-year-old cat regularly nicks the laundry and gardening gear left out by the nearby residents of Otley in West Yorkshire, England.
Danskin has to post Taboo's hauls on social media to reunite the numerous items the pet steals each week with their rightful owners.The feline has a fondness for nabbing gloves, shoes, and socks, specifically, but is open to pinching a variety of items.
"This morning, I had four pairs of socks and a pair of underpants. She loves bringing back items of clothing like that, but also, we've had mop heads and kitchen rolls," Danskin said, adding that she usually finds the stolen goods on the driveway or inside the house by the cat flap when she returns home from her night shifts at work.Taboo rarely gets caught, including by Danskin. The pet parent says she is unsure where Taboo gets all her steals from but suspects the cat grabs the items off laundry lines.
She also knows the feline sneaks into houses when doors are left open because the one person who caught Taboo stealing found the cat taking a shirt from the clothing dryer in their kitchen.
Another odd aspect of Taboo's kleptomania includes the cat's commitment to sets. Danskin told SWNS that if the cat finds a matching pair of socks, she will always bring both items home, carrying one sock at a time.Taboo also likes to snag pieces of wet cardboard and once even brought back a carton of eggs, though all of the eggs broke by the time Taboo dragged the prize home.
Danksin added that she always knows when Taboo brings a stolen gift home for her because the feline lets out a "high-pitched whining noise" whenever she has a stolen item to present.
