BJ Ross of Altoona, Pennsylvania owns a tuxedo cat with an
unusual hobby. Her cat, Jordan, likes to collect shoes. Jordan isn’t content with
stealing BJ’s sandals. No, this kleptomaniac kitty roams the neighborhood every
night, filching everyone’s footwear. It didn’t take Jordan long to amass a
prodigious pile of shoes he’s nabbed from the neighbors. “Last year,” BJ said, “He
brought me mice, snakes, and birds. Sometimes it would be garbage, like a chip
bag or a rubber glove. Then the shoes started showing up.” At first, she threw
them away. Then she realized people must be missing their shoes. So, BJ created
a Facebook group to help people reconnect with their lost loafers. BJ posts
photos of Jordan’s nightly finds, so they can get back to the right feet. BJ
hasn’t been able to curb Jordan’s pilfering, but she has discovered an interesting
way to get to know her neighbors.
