Cat Loves Stealing His Neighbors’ Shoes, His Owner Had to Create a Facebook Group To Return Them

Cats have countless cute traits and quirks that make them one of the two most popular household pets across the world. It’s undeniable, however, that some of their quirks can be… problematic. 

Here to exemplify this fact is the six-pound-heavy cat from Altoona, Pennsylvania – Jordan. The mischievous feline has decided to devote his life to the art of thievery.

Every night, after his owners fall asleep, Jordan sneaks out of the house, jumps over the tall wooden fence, and goes scouring around the neighborhood looking for shoes to steal. Then, when he finds the “right” sneaker or flip-flop that satisfies his kleptomaniac urges that night, Jordan bites it and carries it back home. And to make matters even more hilarious – he often returns for the second shoe to “complete the set.”

Jordan’s escapades have been going on for so long that his owner BJ Ross attached a GPS to Jordan’s collar and set up a night-vision camera to monitor his “activities”. The thief’s family also created a Facebook group for the neighborhood so that they could return the stolen shoes to their rightful owners.

The GPS maps make it pretty clear that Jordan is a very adventurous cat and isn’t satisfied with just one “hunting ground”. Instead, he views the whole neighborhood as his own kingdom.

Fortunately for the cat burglar, his owners are loving and understanding so they didn’t punish him but instead turned him into an internet sensation, while trying to return the stolen treasures to Jordan’s victims. Well, they also shamed him with a scolding “interview” but it’s doubtful that he gave that much thought.
