Cats love stealing things; it is in their predatory nature.

When they don't have something to hunt, they will turn to collecting trophies. There is an old Irish saying that goes something like this: “as honest as a cat when the meat's out of reach.”

Those cute furballs may purr and ask for a scratch behind the ears, but as soon as you turn your back, they're back to their devious ways. Christine, a cat mom, couldn't understand why stuffed animals from her daughter's room were scattered throughout the house.

Living with three cats, including the naughty Munchkin, raised her suspicions. A camera setup quickly solved the mystery, revealing Batman to be the thief.

This feline thievery video will make you laugh out loud. Batman the Munchkin Cat began taking plush animals from his human sister to present them as gifts to his mom.

You might recall Batman as the zany cat who became a massive hit thanks to a box and a well-chosen Alice in Chains song not long ago. Well, now he is back.

Let's see what he has to show us. Grab a cup of tea and enjoy his latest mischiefs:

His teenage human sister handed Batman the box of toys because she loves him, and he began giving them to his mom every night. Christine would wake up to at least two plush animals waiting for her in the morning light.

The giving fun has become a nightly routine since it began. “Sometimes I let them collect upstairs just to show him that I appreciate all the gifts he brings me,” Christine says.

“He loves gifting.”

While Bambi and Larry, the kitten siblings, aren't fans of plush animals or gifts, Batman keeps them entertained by chasing their tails and pouncing on them in a "scary little jump," as Christine puts it. Batman has a lot of purrsonality for only weighing one pound!
