It’s a bona fide cat burglar!

Ootsi the cat has sticky paws. The feline, who lives with Sophie McGeady in Dee Why, Australia, showers his owner with knickknacks he’s stolen from neighbors’ backyards and clotheslines, reports the Daily Mail.

Ootsi has pilfered children’s clothes, toys and even a live baby guinea pig.

“I’ve caught him a few times with just leaves and small toys but I’ve never caught him with the big things,” McGeady tells the “Today” show.

After a recent haul — a striped, child-size top and pants — McGeady, hoping to find the clothes’ owners, revealed Ootsi’s looting ways on a local pet website.

Her plea has since gone viral, and she’s also started a Facebook page detailing Ootsi’s contraband.

“Hopefully we’ll find the owners,” the conniving cat’s mom says. “[But] Ootsi’s not going to stop anytime soon.”
