Ever since the days of Lady and the Tramp we’ve known that Siamese cats were not to be trusted.

Adding more weight to the theory now, many years later, is Theo, a three-year-old cat who has become quite the celebrity in his home town of Ipswich, for all the wrong reasons.

Paul Edwards and girlfriend Rachael Drouet, owners of the moggy, discovered that their pet was guilty of multiple thieveries when they found cat toys in their house, which neither of them had purchased.

Speaking to the Ipswich Star, Edwards said: “Theo started letting himself in through our near neighbours’ cat flap to play with their cat. But then we realised it had turned from innocent visits to him bringing cat toys home with him.”

Since then Theo has stolen many more items, including an 18-inch feather duster, a fluffy pen and a clown glove puppet.

Edwards is keen to reunite the stolen goods with their rightful owners, and has taken to Facebook to shares snaps so that those affected can reclaim their possessions.
