People Are Sharing The Hilarious Moments In Which They Caught Their Pets Stealing Food (New Pics)
A lot of human food isn’t meant for animals, but that won’t stop some hungry critters from trying to sneak a taste. Some pets and wild animals are so blatant with their culinary thievery that people couldn’t help but snap a pic of their funny and adorable antics.
We wanted to bring a bit of sunshine and humor into your life, so our team at Bored Panda has compiled this list of photos of animals trying (and often failing) to steal human food. And they would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for their meddling owners! Scroll down to see the awesome pics, and be sure to show them to your pets at home, too.

LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
I had a pet iguana as a kid. They can bite quite hard, their claws are sharp, and they WILL whip you with that muscular tail XD Mine was still small/juvenile when my mom made me give him away, but I can only imagine how intimidating a large iguana can be! I'm not scared of them offhand, but they have a lot of natural weaponry XD

What Is Your Cat’s Favorite Human Food? I Have A Cake Thief
I have three cats. Finn loves popcorn and tortilla chips. He sticks his head in the bag and chooses one. Lexi likes granola bars and goes crazy trying to steal a bite of homemade pistachio cake. Brie loses her mind over the smell of any meat that I’ve smoked when I bring it inside from the smoker. Can’t blame her there lol. And please don’t worry, I don’t give them much or often.

Ham Thief
Shame him! He stole the ham!
BookFanatic 10 months ago
When my boys were itty bitty kittens they stole a pack of ham lunchmeat out of the grocery bag. Dragged it under the table and proceeded to growl over it because their tiny teefs were too small to do any damage to the package.

The Big Bad Wolf Stole My Drink
LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
Definitely not a wolf XD That's a "Blue Bay Shepherd", a mixed breed "designer breed" that was developed from crossing German Shepherds with Huskies, Malamutes, and low-content wolfdogs.

Flop The Little Thief Stealing My Chocolate Milk
LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
Turns out chocolate is toxic to rats, just as it is to dogs and cats. I think I'd be grabbing this away from my ratto instead of taking a "cute photo" of it. Even if the rat only gets a few licks out of the tip of the straw, rats are very small and it likely takes very little theobromine to harm them.

Should I Be Concerned That My Dog Ate Tamales And Stole A Spatula
I think he will be fine haha, but just wanted to make sure that if my dog consumed the corn husk (the outside of a tamale) that he will be fine, he’s typically a trooper and will pass things that he shouldn’t be digesting. I also wanted an excuse to share this photo of him being 100% guilty of what he did haha.

Dog Steals Food
LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
So you saw your dog with its paws up on the counter, clearly trying to get at the turkey, and you just kept taking photos until it actually GOT the turkey, instead of stopping the dog or moving the turkey? XD

Accidentally Captured A Seagull Stealing My Food

Why would anyone leave food relatively unattended at a beach with seagulls?

If I'm stupid enough to leave food where my cats can get it, then it's my own darn fault. I do spend a lot of time Googling "can cats eat (whatever)" though.
marianne eliza 10 months ago
It's not stealing if the camera person is setting the situation up in advance.
Malia Manocherian 10 months ago
These are hilarious! I once caught my cat sneaking pringles out of the can 😂
