According to Snopes:
On 3 November 2017, the fake news web site World News Daily Report posted a story reporting that an 83-year-old woman named Ruth Gregson of Columbus, Ohio, had trained her 65 cats to steal valuable items like jewelry from her neighbors
65??
Those boomers have a decent enough pension to be able to buy food for that many pets, in their bought and paid off home. I’m struggling with 3 cats in social housing.
You’d have to get pretty lucky with cats. Mine jumped over the garden fence yesterday and then got stuck and had to be rescued from the shadow dimension of the side passage, because apparently it’s a one-way fence.
we got two cats. one was orange. one was not. we figured the orange would give us trouble. he did. not before the other one got her tail trapped in the blinds somehow and broke it. like, she got it wrapped around one of the slats of large-slatted venetian blinds somehow, got the greebles and when the ran off it broke. the tail, not the blinds.
gonna be honest, after having that cat for a few years now, i’m surprised it hasn’t happened again, she hasn’t taken off at full 12 pounds of fury (instead of last time with all 2.5 pounds of her) and broke the damn tail off. because it sounds like something she’d do for fun.
all the orange one’s got is anxiety. i wonder why.
Makes sense, cats are all little criminals anyway.
impressive, it’s easier to train moths to fly away from the light than train cats
i mean, it’s only logical to assume you can train cats to burgle, right?
and as for your moth, those guys are fools. i’m a barber, and i had a moth come into my shop one night and it started telling me all about its feelings. i was like, ‘why are you telling me this stuff? i’m a barber. you need a psychologist.’ and all he said was, ‘well your light was on…’

From the witching community, you’d have pretty good luck befriending the local murder of crows with cheap bread. Upgrade the bread as the shinies they bring you improve.
According to the meme, pretty soon you’re a Batman villain.
Use cat food, it’s better for them and tasty - you just scatter a handful and it doesn’t waste nearly as quick.
…soon?
The… Crowmistress? Queen of Corvids?
God forbid a woman have hobbies.
Obviously a true story. Cats are famously easy to train. Also, the image has words on it that support this story.
Police force investing in time and money to investigate an old woman who trained her cats to steal a sock or a curtain.
… while the police force secretly negotiates and collaborates with the mafia on local cocaine trafficking.
I couldn’t read your response because my eyes are so filled with water from eating so many onions lately
Are you questioning the journalistic integrity of worldnewsdailyreport.com?
I don’t believe it. If you look at the image, it’s says it happened.
I suppose if Jesus is telling me it happened, I ought to believe it did.
But I can’t even get a cat to stop stealing butter.
I mean, you have to be pretty rich to have 65 cats.
She used the cats to steal more cats
To err is human, to go get is feline.
That is a rough 65
My 91-year old grandma looked 10 year younger than that, and she lived through multiple wars including WW2
