Woman horrified as cat brings home surprise gift he 'stole' from neighbour
Pet owners often boast about their furry friends' clever antics, and one woman's cat has become a social media sensation for proving just how astute animals can be.
TikTok star @meganchristiann frequently shares clips of her beloved cat Monkey, who she affectionately refers to as her "entire world." Her followers are left in fits of laughter by Monkey's thieving escapades, regulary pinching things from her next-door neighbours.
However, Megan was especially surprised when her pet returned with a winning scratch card. The cat approached Megan's window, prize in mouth, prompting Megan to ask: "Monkey, where have you been, and what have you got?"

Upon retrieving the scratch card from Monkey, who has a history of bringing home items like tobacco and sanitary products, she exclaimed in disbelief: "F**k off".
Curious to see if they had struck lucky, she questioned her feline thief, "Is it a winner though? " Initially thinking they'd won £5, her surprise turned to shock when she realised it was actually £10, leaving her to exclaim "Monkey! " in confusion over the ticket's origin.
The video sparked amusement in the comments section, with one user joking: "Bro sold his cat nip for a scratch card". Another commented on Monkey's thoughtful nature: "See he's providing for you. Very demure very mindful very caring".
Commenting on the situation, one person quipped: "You need to put a cat cam on him to find out where he's finding all these treasures. Someone somewhere will think they have a ghost thief. He's brilliant".
While a pet owner wrote: "Good boy for paying rent - my cats don't". Adding a humorous take, another chimed in: "He's earning his keep", and then, "That's a good boy mine just p****s on my rug and scratches my sofa."
