“Fluffy Food Thieves”: 38 Of The Best Photos Of Pets Trying To Steal Food Or Beverages, As Shared By The Panda Community
Have you ever caught your pet trying to steal food? If you are here, then it means that you most likely have.
As funny as it sounds, pets do not regard objects as "yours/theirs." In fact, most animals are quite opportunistic. However, house pets can be trained to learn that some items are off-limits. Still, most of them, even when they are made aware of this, will still attempt to steal food when out of sight, and then run away, concealing themselves while doing so, if they perceive an opportunity.
With that being said, I asked some Pandas to share pictures of their pets being caught at the "crime scene."

These photos usually go the other way, with the cat surprised by a possum snagging food. Possum on the right looks kinda shocked

A lot of people don't like opossums. I think they are sweet. One possum can eat up to 5,000 ticks in a season. Please be kind to them. I am not so fond of ticks...

The only tick safe to be around is the kind that says "tock" right after!

I have possums that live in my garage...they hang out with the cats all the time, and they all share food without arguing. I've always thought the cats think of the possums as distant, backwoods cousins.

We gained a stray once, when he started eating food left for hedgehogs. Got a pic of him on one side of the plate and a couple of hoglets on the other.

Lol. My mom was complaining about her cats getting into her bread and the garbage while she was asleep. It was odd, because the cats had been there for years and never did it before. Here, it was raccoons coming in through her crawl space at night. The maintenance guy had left a latch open when he worked on the furnace. 😂😂 She had masked intruders.

Possums aren’t mean. Lol. Plus, they don’t carry rabies, and eat ticks! When my cat was alive, he had one he hung with on our porch some nights.

In summer, I put a few ice cubes in the water bowl. The youngest cat is especially fascinated by them. Initially she tried licking them directly. Then she discovered the water around them is nice and cold, so now she just drinks around them, changing position as they move on top of the water. Tabitha is a strange and wonderful cat.

I tried several times to upload mine, but it wouldn't do it. It was my Ava Piglet shoving her face in my frappe. I made the mistake of giving her a little taste of the whipped cream. It must have been delicious because she completely lost all sense of reason. I was trying to drive us home and laughing so hard I could barely see. I also have a blurry follow up of her sticking her tongue out with whipped cream on her nose. I love that naughty pig so dang much!

I grew up with a very spoiled, very naughty dachshund. The kitchen had a large opening to a buffet board in the den. Somebody pushed a chair too close to the buffet board. Mom left a big pot of sloppy joes spaghetti mix out in an open pot on the stove on slow simmer. We ran to the store for something for dinner, and we came back to find the spaghetti mix had cooked down to about half the level we left it. Then we noticed little orange dog paw prints all over the floor. The darn dog had put both front paws into the pot and feasted away until he heard us drive in. The dog noticed us noticing the paw prints and pot. He panicked and ran to hide. He was sure he would be spanked. He went to his bed to hide. We looked and his belly was swollen with the spaghetti sauce. He looked scared and sooo guilty. Mom & I just laughed it off, enjoying the irony of his invention. Mom said she had noticed other meals had cooked down like that before. Ewww... Mom just put the remaining spaghetti sauce in the freezer & doled it out to the sneaky dog for part of his dinner for the next week or so. The dog was amazed and grateful. Darn dog. We moved the chair, & Mom always put a lid on anything cooking after that. He would get into leftover beer also if someone left it out, obviously drawing on his German heritage. I miss that dog.

Once, my mother was drinking coffee with our cat on her lap, and he was leaning in very closely. Then, he took a small lap, spat in disgust, and ran off hissing.

I had a cat who loved bread. We always had to keep bread in a closed cupboard, because she would chew right through the bag to get to it.

This is really cute, made my day. It's heartwarming to see people like their pets. Something that makes me believe in humanity at least a little bit.
