It doesn't matter if you own a big hound or a fluffy little tabby, you know how persuasive animals can be when they smell a tasty snack. From wagging tails to piercing gazes, they have plenty of weapons at their disposal to convince us to give them a bite.
And if all fails, some are determined enough to try out the last option — stealing!
We at Bored Panda put together a new collection of amusing photographic evidence, showcasing shameless pet thieves in the middle of their crimes. I wonder what excuse they would give to a judge.
Continue scrolling to check out the images and don't miss the chat we had with Alison Schramel, CPDT-KA Animal Behavior and Training Manager for one of the leading animal welfare organizations in the US, Animal Humane Society (AHS).

My Large Icy Was Full When I Went In The Store For 2 Minutes
I see nothing that would suggest this dog is guilty of slushy-stealing.
That's out of the blue, no way! The floof is not guilty!
Load More Replies...So, you left the slushy in the car with the dog, and the dog saved some for you? Good boy!
Yeah if it hadn't been for me your car would have been overrun with the little blue devils

Load More Replies...Hey, if it’s good enough for the dog to eat it, it’s good. Believe me, I have had takeout I’ve offered to my cats and dogs before, and they actually turned their noses up at it. Made me rethink eating fast food, if an animal who would chew on a dead mouse—-or poop in the case of the dogs—-and drink out of a mud puddle wouldn’t even touch it.
When you spend so much time cooking mouth-watering food, it's pretty normal for your pet to want to nibble on it too.
"Simply put, animals do what works for them. In their eyes, they are eating food that is available to them and don't understand what belongs to them versus their human roommates," Alison Schramel of AHS told Bored Panda. "Food is a valuable resource for animals, especially if they don't know when their next meal will be available to them."
"It's important to keep food out of reach for animals so they don't eat things that will make them ill, such as a loaf of bread left on the counter or chocolate candy on a coffee table."

Load More Replies...He's trying to train the dog. Good practice for training a soft can-opener.
Cleaned for a family that had to thaw things in the microwave or oven (not on) because the cat would knock it to the floor, dog would open and then they would share the spoils
LOL!! I call one of my cats 'little dog'...he's so much more canine than feline
I'd swap it for a cat if I were you; they NEVER steal food when you're not looking......
Plus, it doesn't mean that our pets automatically fail even when they walk away after the mission empty-pawed. Maybe the attention they receive during the whole thing is a sufficient reward in and of itself?
Who hasn't reacted to their pet trying to steal food by taking them into our arms and suggesting the ball instead? Even if we reprimand the rascals, we are paying attention to them, and that could give them a good reason to keep at it.
When You Leave The Yogurt Unattended
I once caught my cat stealing yoghurt. He is a void, so, easy to spot white stains😅 then I served him a bit of said yoghurt on his plate, you think he touched it?
Load More Replies...Me too! True solid brown kitties are quite rare, as brown is a mutated form of solid black! (Black cats are B/B genetically speaking, but even a cat that carries the brown gene recessively - B/b - will APPEAR black-furred. It’s only when you get two B/b black cats bred together that you’ll get b/b - solid brown!)

My Dog, Aspen, Always Grabs Things Out Of The Pantry And Brings Them To Us With This Face
The golden retriever retrieved the golden seeded bread. I only see a very good boi!
Oh gosh, I don’t think I could resist that sweet face of pure guilt.
However, if we want the crimes to stop, Schramel suggested that we, first and foremost, keep all food items out of reach of any animals in our home.
"Remember to keep purses up and out of reach that may have gum or other snacks in them," she added. "If you want an extra layer of management, you can gate your kitchen off as well."

Load More Replies...We might need to address some of our habits as well. "Keep an eye on where kids leave snacks or drinks," Schramel said.
"If you have guests over, it may be easiest to keep your pets in a closed bedroom or other location where you don't need to keep an eye on them."
Also, keep in mind that a lack of physical and mental stimulation can lead to many behavioral problems in pets, including stealing food.

Yesterday I Rescued This Kitten From A Cruel Life As A Stray, Today He Shamelessly Stole My Son’s Lunch. I’ve Taken In A Criminal
Was going to say, with that look on his face, there's a growl involved there also.
Load More Replies...Well, if you only rescued them yesterday, you have to realize that they’re still in survival mode—- as a feral kitten, the only way of life they’ve ever known—-and will steal food when they see it, because it hasn’t dawned on them yet that they’re now getting fed regularly. Give the baby some time to settle in and realize they can drop that behavior, because they’re now finally safe, secure, loved, and getting proper care and regular feeding.
Very true. It'd taken my feral kitten a couple/few weeks to settle in and drop the "must eat everything in the dish as fast as possible" behavior. Once she'd adjusted to the regular schedule for meal times, she relaxed about food availability and eventually became the pickiest eater of any of my cats (which was actually very nice to see).
Load More Replies...This poor baby is probably so incredibly hungry and still in survival mode. All that they have know is fending for themselves.
I adopted two rescue cats and they use to always steal food, like even whole chicken breasts right from a hot pan on the stove!! The behaviour decreased eventually.
Well he does own you now. That means he gets to do as he pleases and what is yours is really his.
According to Schramel, toxic foods we must avoid giving to our pets include grapes, raisins, onions, chocolate, garlic, alcohol, and avocados.
The animal behavior and training manager said other foods to look out for are:
BBQ Bones. They can easily chip into small pieces that quickly become choking hazards, and cooking can also remove the nutrients from the bones. Note: Corn on the cob can also be a similar choking hazard!
Processed or Fatty Meats. Too many snacks like processed or fatty meats can cause gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis.

I Left My Food Unattended For 2 Minutes, And My Cat Fell Asleep While Eating It
Climbed Up The Handles To Eat Cheese While I'm Cutting It
And clever how she uses the drawer handles like a ladder
Load More Replies...It is most likely a female :) That is a tortoiseshell, and 99% of tortoiseshell and calico cats are female (only 1 in 3,000 are male). I’m not trying to call you out or throw shade, but just pointing out - cat coat color genetics are fascinating! One of the rare times when mammals express gender-tied colorations.
Load More Replies...Looks like our Blanche. And she's climbed our legs to eat cheese off the counter.
It's a Tortie! They should expect many more crazy tricks in the future. :)
That's what my old cat, Leroy, did when I was cutting him some chicken breast. He sat next to the cutting board and ate the pieces as soon as they were cut off.
Further down the list are:
Ice cream. The amount of sugar in ice cream is too high for this to be a good snack option for your four-legged friend, and some animals may experience lactose intolerance.
Fatty mayonnaise-based foods: Too many fatty foods can cause GI upset or put them at risk of developing pancreatitis.
Nuts. Can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and pancreatitis
Salty snacks. Causes excessive thirst and sodium poisoning.

Can I Have Some?
l had a cat years ago for some reason loved biscuits (American ones) and if I got up to get something when eating dinner, caught her numerous times dragging it off my plate.
You *nom* didn't want *nom nom* any *nom* of this, *nom* right?
But it is quite rude of you to eat cheese and not offer any to that chonky boi!
I Caught Him Stealing A Slice Of Beef Cheek On The Taco Night
If you had given him what was rightfully his to start with, he wouldn't have to resort to stealing.
Like you all weren't going to share. We are carnivores. We're not into all that tomato and onion c**p. We want the meat!
For more mischievous pet thieves, fire up our earlier picture collections here and here.
But remember, the best way to deal with the problem of our pets stealing food is not to let it develop in the first place.
And if it does happen, it's in your (and the animal's) best interest to put an end to it.

Every Single Night. Doesn't Matter What's For Dinner
Maybe they need better quality food? Some kibble is nutritionally underwhelming .
My younger cat is fed one of the top kibbles on the planet (Orijen) and he’ll still steal and snarf ANYTHING he can. He ate the dog’s pill once. He steals sliced watermelon from my boyfriend’s literal hands. He has snatched raw broccoli out of my fingers and eaten it before I could even react. His kibble costs more than my food and is nutritionally better than my overall diet. He is just a savage XD

Human food is more fun. Plus kitties need to remind us who is in charge.
That cat would be going in his transport cage every time there was food in this house😅 Luckily our cats have no interest in human food unless it's fish. Everything else gets a disdainful sniff and "I'll pass."😂

Not even as a joke :( Pizza sauce has garlic and onion, both of which are toxic to dogs AND cats.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid we had a ~20 lb Jack Russell Terrier. Shortly after we got him my sister left him alone in a room with a Papa Murphy's Pizza on a low table, and he jumped up and ate about half of it. We were terrified he was going to die (that's an insane amount of food for a dog his size, and onions and garlic are bad news for dogs) but he just napped for 30 minutes then woke up like nothing happened. We learned to be very careful after that.
They never tell the story of how they have to get up during the night a million times cuz the poor dog gets diarrhea, or how sick they get after eating food that is really bad for them. Like I can't find this thread cute at all cuz all I'm doing is cursing the owners for not securing their food. It's good to have ground rules for humans. No chocolate or chocolate paper lying around, close the kitchen door, don't leave food unattended on tables. Then your dog won't eat onions, garlic, grapes, avocados, chocolate eceters and dies.

"Put Them On A Raw Meat Diet." They Said. This Carb-Craving Criminal Pulled The Bagels Out Of The Cupboard
It's very weird that dry cat food is almost half made of carbs even though cats are full carnivores. Pet food manufacturers are the real criminals
High protein canned diets are indeed usually better for kitties. There are instances, however where a high carb/low protein diet is beneficial. Kidney disease is treated better with a low protein diet for one. I kept my cat alive for quite a while on special dry food.
Load More Replies...If you want to feed a raw meat diet to a pet, you should look up the FDA guidelines on how you can stay safe while feeding that stuff to your pet. Including not letting them lick your face, wash your hands after petting the pet, having to wash the bowl after every feeding. Its basically like you just adopted a raw chicken for a pet. I won't feed it to my dogs (I don't count the time the puppy pulled a NY steak out of my shopping bag: he was just checking to see if it was fresh or not).
I read that one of the reasons we got a ton of dry food for cats and dogs was due to the depression in the early 1930's or during e to WW II.. Manufacturers couldn't get a hold of steel for canning so they started making dry kibbles.
My Siamese would sell my soul to the devil for cream cheese icing, even though cats are said to not taste sweet. Emphasis on MY soul. Her soul is too gorgeous for Hell.

I knew a Siamese who'd only drink water from a beer mug. If the level was too low, he'd be very vocal about a refill.
It appears we have a new prisoner right here with a serious offence in need of rehabilitation.
My last cat insisted on drinking from a glass instead of a bowl. I had to start leaving water in one for her next to her food otherwise she'd go after whatever I was drinking in my own cup! She also liked to lick water droplets from the shower and my patio furniture after it rained. Of course she had a sparkling clean water bowl available at all times, but apparently that wasn't cool.
That's why I always add a bit of tea in my glass of whater. Ever thirsty stripy chunk.

What do you mean, stealing? It was unattended, so fair game.
Saw a rat last year scurrying across the fence with a Reese's Peanut Butter cup in its mouth. Intact, with the wrapper still on. Score!

Guess I'm Sharing My Pizza
I’ve said it before, but - it’s funny for a pic, but don’t let a cat or a dog eat any pizza. The sauce contains onion and garlic powder, both of which are toxic to cats AND dogs :(
Some pets are especially allergic to tomatoes, I've heard. One of my cats ate a lot of the Bolognese, but the other two avoided it like personal responsibility.

I waited to long to order a wedding cake for my parents 50th. They didn't have one married very simply end of WW II. It was a surprise. Never made one in my life. A friend told me to do it in sections, I had done the top two and was doing the bottom I heard my Hobbes our Golden licking but thought he was finishing his supper. Heard his feet hit the floor. He had licked a 6" path across both layers. I told myself no one would know, just re frost it, but honesty prevailed and I baked it. Actually he did me a favor, I did a better job on the remake. Didn't tell them for a few years.

Cantaloupe Thief

If the cantaloupe fits, it sits-- right in that cone of shame. How could the dog resist? He's basically a Venus flytrap.

I think the shape in the eyes that is confusing you is a reflection of a cellphone. If that's not it, yes the eyes are very dilated and that is a sign it is on high alert for danger. Whoever has their hand on that cat is scaring it and threatening it and possibly choking it.

Gosh, my cat is such a goody two-shoes, she never tries to steal food! Only if you leave a plate with some leftover sauce she might try to lick it, but even then usually after giving you a look and a chirrup first to ask permission.

In addition to the high sugar and fat content a lot of it contains garlic and onion in powder form as part of the spice blend. Garlic and onion are toxic to pets! You might get lucky once or twice but you're harming your animal and shortening its life!

My freakin'... ninja-stealth-dog... she HOSPITALIZED herself from being such a good food-thief... not because she ate something 'wrong' for dogs... but because she ate SO MUCH she got backed up. To this day, we don't know **where** she got the food from... everything is behind something-that-requires-opposable-thumbs to open. It's like she found a - a - a bag-of-holding-food-portal.
None of these would happen if you had trained your pet correctly. Yes, I had pets before. They were not allowed in our living room, nor on the counter, or around the dining table. The cat got raw liver on Sundays and our dog got 8 pieces of toast with jam (he could count). They both sat and waited for the signal before getting to their bowl.
