Mom searching for her daughter’s missing toys sets up cameras to catch cat stealing them

A woman named Christine, who has a daughter and a cat, decided to set up hidden cameras when her daughter’s toys kept disappearing – and it wasn’t long before she caught her abuser

Anyone who owns a cat will tell you that it’s almost impossible to get them to behave if they don’t want to obey.

Unlike dogs, which can be trained to be obedient, cats will do whatever they want, whenever they want – and those around them just have to deal with it.

Very often they run the household and get away with being naughty because they just don’t pay attention to the people who are trying to judge them.

But in addition to a cheeky attitude, some cat owners have to contend with other unruly traits in their feline friends — which can be downright annoying at times.

A woman named Christine, who has a daughter and a pet cat, began to notice that her daughter’s stuffed animals were disappearing one by one — and sometimes items kept in one part of the house turned up in a completely different place the next day .

After a while, the mother singled out a prime suspect in the household – and found an ingenious way to find out if her theory was correct.

She told the Laughing Squid that she had cameras set up throughout the house to try and solve the mystery.

And when she watched the footage, she caught her culprit in the act — it was the family cat, Batman.

After keeping the cameras going for a few days, Christine realized that Batman wasn’t on strike every once in a while, but was a serial killer.

Footage showed him stealing toys from her daughter’s room most evenings if she left the door open.

Since Christine first made the discovery, the family has grown accustomed to Batman doing things of his own volition at night, with no one bothering to stop him.

When Christine’s daughter was growing up, the family decided that instead of throwing away their toys, they would keep them in a hiding place so Batman could move around the house whenever he wanted.

To this day, the Munchkin cat roams around at night, moving objects around the home—including her clothes.

Christine shares her cat’s antics on Instagram at @batman_the_munchkin_cat – and since the family welcomed another kitten, Larry, he seems to be following in his big brother’s footsteps.
