Tsuki-san, my cat, has been upsetting my mother lately since my brother brought him in at two days of age. She has a theory about what she calls “Thief Cats”; those are usually slim, long, and highly intelligent cats who steal food.

Sometimes when I take kittens in, there are no indications that they will develop into Thief Cats. They’re chubby, short-legged, and generally dumb. There really is no telling if your kitten will morph into a Thief Cat before it turns at least three months old, and I say this as a result of a long history with cats.

Naturally, if you get a pedigree kitten, you know what you’re investing in. I am talking about random street kittens turned domestic.

Tsuki-san is a picky eater. He hates certain types of cat food and even those he likes he does not eat that often. Recently, he developed a passion for stealing food from the kitchen, much to my mother’s displeasure. He likes to take food that is not given willingly to him and that makes him true to his physical endowments. His tail is excessively long, the longest tail I have ever seen, but he looks nothing like a regular Thief Cat. I reckon he’s a Thief Cat in disguise.

He stole some chicken skin from the sink this morning. My mother offered it to him earlier but he wouldn’t have it, until he stole it. I have raised a morally corrupt feline.
