Like many cats, Jordan, a long-haired cat from Pennsylvania, loves to shower his favorite human with presents. These gifts used to include mice, birds, snakes, and other typical feline prey, as well as the occasional piece of litter. But one day, the black-and-white cat suddenly turned his attentions toward a more unusual target: shoes.
At first, Jordan’s owner would just throw away the odd shoes that appeared in his yard. But when the cat’s collection of pilfered footwear started piling up, owner BJ Ross created a Facebook page to help neighbors reclaim their stolen loot.
“If y’all know my cat Jordan, y’all know he loves to bring me home shoes!!!!!” Ross wrote in the public group, Jordan The Feline Cat Burglar, which quickly ballooned to include thousands of members. “This tiny little cat drags me home one, two, three shoes. Every night!!”
Most members aren’t actually victims of Jordan’s night prowling but have instead tuned in to follow this adorable felon, whose illicit stash already includes 50 shoes – and counting. This startling intake also led Ross to outfit his cat — who’d already been caught on the security camera — with a GPS tracking collar to see how the feline felon managed to collect so much loot.

According to Jordan’s tracking device, this committed cat burglar maintains a large territory that encompasses multiple visits to houses throughout the neighborhood. This is likely because Jordan likes to present his owner with a full set of shoes, but — being a cat – can only carry one shoe at a time. A lesser cat burglar might find this limiting, but Jordan prepares for his nighttime misadventures with lots of proactive napping.

Regardless, most of the people on Jordan’s Facebook page are clearly endeared by Jordan’s penchant for human footwear. “It kills that he goes back and gets the other shoe to make a pair smart kitty,” one user wrote. Another user wrote that her young daughter “thinks Jordan is “so cool” and insisted on leaving her sister’s shoes out for him.”
It’s unclear if Jordan’s victims are equally entertained by the cat’s thievery, but Jordan’s owner is happy to make returns if somebody recognizes their shoes and messages him directly.
