What stolen items do you find in your dog/cat's bed?

Just a fun little thread.

What things have you lost and then found hidden in your dog or cats bed?

My dog loves toothbrushes - the more used the better. She doesn't chew them, just hides them under the blankets in her bed I don't know how she gets them from the holder on the shelf but she's quite good at the ninja moves.

Have also found the brush attachment to our vacuum cleaner, new paintbrushes (a whole packets worth!). Im starting to notice a funny little cleptomaniac trend.....

Don't you just want to get inside your dog's mind...his thought process...and find out why he takes and hides these things?

I guess there are some people who are called dog whisperers... who are also physic... and can find out what they are thinking; I am just wondering how a person would find a legitimate one and not a charlatan.

Your dog is a dear soul; who is very entertaining! Can you upload a picture of him?

Edit: I forgot to add my cat has a thing for (q-tips)...he will find them; play with them; and then hide them. He only chooses the clean ones; to me this is quite humorous.

Empty Toilet paper rolls. Dozens of them. I dont even know where she gets them from.

yes I would love to know what goes through her little doggie mind. I imagine it thus:

"hooray they gone out"

[wanders about a bit]

"oooooh I smell toothbrush. I gonna get it and cuddle it and hides it so they have to get more for me to get again"

[gets toothbrush]

"snuggliewugglie"

My dog steals my husband's dirty socks out of the laundry basket and also likes to sneak off with the grandkid's favorite baby doll. He is also notorious for eating crayons so we have to keep a close eye on them when coloring is going on.

brilliant! perhaps she eats all the paper to get to the fun tube inside? do you go through an inordinate amount of toilet rolls?

My socks and underwear. Don't ask me why but for some reason our cat has a fetish with them, only the clean ones not dirty ones, so I guess I should be thankful that we have a clean cat.

I keep my socks and underwear in the top drawer of my dresser and at night he will come in our room and he reaches up and grabs the top lip of the drawer with his claws and manages to open the drawer. He then jumps on top of the dresser and reaches in and takes what he wants.

When he first started doing this I couldn't figure out why I would wake up in the mornings and my sock drawer would be open about 4 inches. Then one night my wife and I were laying in bed watching TV and we saw him do it and I couldn't believe it.

That was my first thought, because she does love napkins. But I actually kept count once on how many rolls were gone through in a week, and how many empty rolls I found in her bed. They didnt match up at all. I get the feeling she has a stash somewhere in the yard that she goes and pulls a couple from. Its the only thing I can figure.

You should scoop it up and sell it as modern art

My partners old dog had a thing for her and her sisters used underthings. One day he tried to throw up and they had to pull it out or he would have chocked

here is my little clepto!

Her name is Leelou Dallas - the supreme being - the ultimate ginger

My two cats are constantly dragging my son's stuffed animals into our bathroom sink. I have no idea why, but it's rather disconcerting to go brush your teeth in the morning and a dragon puppet is staring at you from the basin...

That's strange that you mention that your dog has a penchant for brushes,one of our cats" collects" make up brushes,whilst another will jump up onto the bathroom cabinet to grab Q Tips out of their box!

Neither animal steals anything of ours.

The cat has her toys, mice and the dog has his bears and stuffed flea. Those are the things he piles in his bed. He doesn't show much interest in anything that isn't a stuffed teddy bear lol

Our cats had a habit of "bathing" their toy mice in their milk dish,one explanation that we were given was that in the wild,some species of cat wash their prey before attempting to eat it,so perhaps it's just instinct kicking in.

that's funny! hahaha

animals have an amazing ability to entertain and confuse at the same time

One of my cats used to constantly bring back other cats collars in his mouth and try and hide them in his bed. We had to assume after a while that he was mugging other cats for them
Strangely if we gave him his own collar he would always come home without it

Maybe he was part of a black market collar smuggling ring?
