KARATE CHOP THE SHOE STEALING CAT 😲👟

A thieving kitty has caused absolute havoc in his neighbourhood, stealing a variety of items from shoes to bucket hats.

Karate Chop, one, can't seem to help himself when it comes to being a kleptomaniac, and his hilarious antics have been shared online by his cat-mum, Samantha Foster, 35, known as Sam, who revealed that the theft began almost as soon as she got him with flowers from artificial displays.

But in the past six months, Karate Chop has turned his attention to shoes, and he has now gifted Sam a wide selection of toddlers' shoes, Nike trainers, and even an adult man's tennis shoe.

When Samantha realised that Karate Chop's obsession had evolved into a hobby, she started to reach out to her neighbours and even made Facebook posts to try and locate the owners of the missing items. Karate Chop has also brought home hats, dishcloths, gloves, and even a mop head.

Luckily, Karate Chop's charm means he never ends up in too much trouble with his neighbours - instead, they seem to enjoy his antics and see the funny side.

Samantha, from Tennessee, USA, explained: "His name simply comes from the action, Karate Chop. He is a verb. He is part of a bonded pair and it comes as no surprise that he is the annoying little brother of the two. "There was a post on our neighbourhood Facebook page from someone who had left their shoes out to dry overnight and woke up to one missing. Knowing first-hand who it might be, Karate Chop's first victim gave me the tip and I just could not believe it. There it was, in my backyard. "I came home one day, and there was a toddler-sized bucket hat. I laughed, but I immediately thought of a couple of neighbours in my cul-de-sac with toddlers. I apologised and explained that I think my cat may have a problem. "I truly have the best neighbours. I live in a little cul-de-sac and they are all aware of his pristine hunting skills. Thankfully they all seem to get a good laugh out of it."
