Prolific thief: Naughty Norris with part of his haul of ill-gotten gains (Picture: SWNS)

The owners of a cat burglar have apologised to neighbours for its huge haul of stolen underwear and food.

Richard and Sophie Windsor hope to reunite those in their street with items that include dishcloths, sports bras, gravy paste and even a bath mat.

Norris, a two-year-old tabby, has also pinched jumpers, pizzas, oven gloves and a German sausage.

Mr Windsor, 26, believes that his pet has stolen some of the items from washing lines.


Norris will leave his swag on a mat in the backyard if he is unable to get it through the cat flap, he added.

‘At first it was the odd thing, but over the last four months he has started to up his game,’ said Mr Windsor, of Bedminster, Bristol.

‘Fortunately, all our neighbours are very good-natured about it.’
