Well, the accused gentleman does have 120 cats. And that’s a lot of cats.
According to Asahi News, Osaka police arrested Mamoru Demizu for repeated counts of suspected thievery. The 48-year-old unemployed man is alleged to have committed 32 robberies, supposedly making off with around 19,200,000 yen or US$186,800. He’s alleged to have stolen cash and precious metals from houses.
“I did it to earn money to feed my 120 cats,” Demizu confessed.
The man admitted the money was going to feed his 120 cats. At his home and at a rental warehouse, Demizu has been raising around 20 cats. At a public park and ten other locations, he’s been feeding around one hundred more, with a daily cat food bill of 25,000 yen or US$243.
“Hugging cats is pure bliss,” Demizu is quoted as saying.
Demizu has been without a job for two years and supposedly began stealing in September 2012. If these charges are true, that would make this suspect a real cat burglar, no?

Hence why I made sure to quote the entire article here so no one had to give them clicks.
Why you gotta be so catty with me?
Well, someone’s gotta feed them while Cammy’s out on Delta Red assignments.
Talk about putting pussy on a pedestal.

Sure, if you like having something that resembles a retarded friend to take care of. St.Bernards are top tier though because they come with the flask of whiskey around their neck.
