Snorri the Cat Burglar

Snorri Sturluson is a cat burglar. Snorri is a two-year-old cat in Portland, Oregon. If he could, Snorri would probably insist its not thievery, just his hobby of collecting things from around the neighborhood. His owner, Gabrielle Hendel, said Snorri started out in the spring bringing home trash and sticks, but soon moved up to bigger objects.

"It escalated to include kids toys, matchbooks, a leopard print towel, dog toys, rags, hats, socks, gloves and then finally shoes," Hendel, a medical student who splits her time between her surgical rotation and editing Snorri's footage, told HuffPost.

If her neighbors notice anything missing, they will check Snorri’s Instagram account, where Hendel posts pictures of the night’s take. The popularity of the gallery has made Snorri a star. As you can see from the many pictures there, Snorri likes to take shoes more than anything. He also has his own YouTube channel. Who says crime doesn't pay?

Claud came home with half a malt-loaf last night.
I wouldn't have minded, except he left it outside our bedroom door and in the morning I stood on it. Sticky and rather clammy, it was.

We had a cat that did this. He started out dragging home McDonalds bags and crushed cigarette packs, and then started bringing home gloves, towels and a (clean) cloth diaper. He would be so proud.
