Nipsey steals everything. He loves to steal keys and he knocks lighters off tables and plays with them and they are lost. Any food item he thinks is his.

Emma is a food thief...she is like a little ninja..:LOL:

With the hair ties, I learned the hard way on those. I now only keep one hair tie at a time on my wrist because my fur baby Alyssa decided to EAT THEM. 2 surgeries and 6000 dollars later, they had tangled in her small intestine :(

Just a bit of a warning if they start disappearing...also...if you have the ones with the metal clasp...it makes them locatable on x-rays...that is the only way they were able to get all 26 out of Alyssa's tummy :(

I totally hear you, Diablo had to have surgery for the exact same thing, although it happened to be on my 30th birthday :( he has eaten thru all the Venetian blind cords we have too.... am wondering about an OCD! But yes I am also very wary of where I put my ties. This is a pic of Diablo after surgery: looking all space cadet!

Bless his little heart! He says "but Mama...they are there...I's get to eat them right..." That's crazy about the venetian blinds :Dizzy: I didn't even think about the cords, I might need to get those tied up so they can't reach them.

Glad he is ok! It was soo scary when it happened!

Clementine is a stealer. Anything she can fit in her mouth is game. Makeup brushes... our stocking stuffers have been strewn about the house...lids to anything (milk, etc)....

Im sure once she is bigger the variety will only continue to grow too!

I don't know if I answered this or not. Vito steals q-tips every chance he gets. He has stolen hair ties from the bathroom drawer an most recently stole a cooked chicken wing off my plate and went and hid under the bed with it.

I've been MIA the past few months trying to finish my doctorate courses and comprehensive exams--all A's! Yay! So, getting back to Sphynx talk is welcomed...

Since my last post, I've added to my family--a second Sphynx--a four month old black and white. His name is Harry because he has little areas of hair--on his nose, the tip of his tail, behind his ears, and on his little boy area...hehe.

Ollivander the big brother isn't really into stealing things. Harry is nothing like that! He loves to steal my straws. I've found at least a dozen strewn across the living room. He also has been stealing the bows off the Christmas presents under the tree. But his favorite thing to steal is whipped cream off the top of my iced coffee! I make it myself at home and he knows the sound of me pouring up my coffee apparently. Before I can even get the can out of the fridge, he is on the counter by my cup. It can be mid squirt from the can and he is already licking my cup.

I finally realized if I give him a small dollop on the counter he will eat it and let me finish making my coffee. But before I can even make it to my chair about ten feet away, he has already made it to my cup's position waiting for his second course!

HAIR TIES!!! even if I have it on my wrist Church will gnaw at it. I might as well give up on buying toys for him and get him a lifetime supply of hair ties.

Millie is a half hearted thief. She doesn’t hide things she just knocks them to the floor and bats them a couple of times before losing interest. Pens, straw, q-tips, hair pins are all popular but her favorite thing to steal (which dives me mad) is my lipgloss.
