Klepto Kitty Strikes in Otley
- A kleptomaniac cat named Taboo is causing trouble in Otley, West Yorkshire.
- The 12-year-old cat has been stealing clothes like gloves, socks, underpants, and shoes from neighbors' houses.
- Despite her antics, the cat's owner is mortified by Taboo's burglary spree.
In a quirky turn of events, Sandra Danskin, 62, has found herself at the center of a peculiar neighborhood phenomenon involving her cat, Taboo. The feline has developed a penchant for stealing various items, often returning home with an assortment of clothing and household goods. Danskin reports that her daily returns include everything from socks and underwear to mop heads and kitchen rolls, leaving her to regularly post pictures on social media for residents to reclaim their lost belongings. Taboo, originally a house cat belonging to Danskin's daughter, Gemma, has honed her thieving skills over time. Gemma eventually decided to part ways with the mischievous cat due to her antics, leading Taboo to move in with Sandra and her three other cats. The cat's signature howl signals her successful thefts, and her collection has grown to include a variety of items, much to the amusement of the neighborhood. Despite the oddity of her behavior, Danskin finds Taboo's antics both entertaining and bewildering. She has accumulated a box filled with the cat's "treasures," and the community has embraced the situation, often joking about the cat's potential to raid a Rolex watch shop. With no signs of Taboo slowing down, Danskin remains vigilant, ready to share her feline's latest finds with the neighborhood.
