This Rescue Cat Is Stealing Money From Strangers And It All Goes To Homeless

ADVERTISEMENT

Anybody who thinks cats are lazy clearly haven’t met Sir Whines-A-Lot, because this kitty keeps himself super busy…stealing other people’s cash!

He’s a rescue cat who lives at the office of Tulsa-based marketing firm GuRuStu, and his antics were rumbled when the founder, Stuart McDaniel, came to work one morning and found some money by the door where Sir Whines-A-Lot usually hangs out. “It kept happening, but we didn’t know why. So we decided to test a theory,” Stuart told The Dodo. “We tried sliding money through the gap in the door, and the cat hopped up and snatched it.”

Stuart guessed that the sneaky feline had been encouraging passersby to play with him through the door, and that they’d been using dollar bills as makeshift cat toys. “I’m guessing the first people didn’t intend to lose their dollar,” McDaniel said. “They probably put it in to mess with him, and he snatched it. When you hold money there, he’ll bat at it playfully at first, like, ‘Oh, that’s kinda fun.’ But then all of a sudden he’ll bite it and rip it from your hand. He does it so fast, you don’t even realize what’s happened.”

As Sir Whines-A-Lot stole more and more money, Stuart decided it was only right that the cash be donated to charity, specifically one working towards helping the city’s homeless population. “He was homeless once, so it seems fitting,” McDaniel said. They’ve already raised over $100, which they donated under Sir Whines-A-Lot’s pseudonym, CASHnip Kitty. According to his Facebook page, “Cashnip Kitty is a hustler with a philanthropic heart. He will snatch your money and donate it to the Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless. Cashnip Kitty says, “Slide a dollar through the slot and great blessings will follow”.

It's definitely real. He's at the office of a firm called GuRuStu on 3rd Street in Tulsa, OK.

Homeless cats or homeless people? It would be more fitting if the money would be donated to animal shelters.

I love this thieving kitty and his caring humans! But Sir Whines-a-lot can only steal so many dollar bills. I think local Tulsa businesses should give the homeless center a "matching grant," duplicating the amount the kitty, er, "raises" by the same amount. If three or four local businesses could do that, the amount donated to the homeless would be much more effective.

I love his antics, but does he get left alone in the office all night by himself? Does he really have a home or is he just the office's mascot? Could explain why he is so desperate for human company. Kind of sad really.

Um why wasn't the money returned to the original owner or at least why wasn't an effort made to do so?

Oh, come on - individual one-dollar bills? I promise you, nobody whose well-being is dependent upon a single dollar is going to use it to play with a kitty in an office storefront in the first place.
