Oh My Goodness! Clothing Thief at School Turns Out to Be a Cheeky Cat

A stunning twist occurred at Apanui School in Fogatane, where a mysterious thief stealing towels, shoes, and even underwear was revealed to be a cheeky cat. School principal Marama Stewart disclosed that items were vanishing mysteriously, especially during swimming pool seasons. Initially, teachers and students noticed single shoes, swim goggles, and towels scattered along school walkways. Security camera footage dramatically captured a black cat dramatically dragging a large towel across the playground, seemingly on a covert mission. The 'treasure trove' of stolen items was discovered behind the physical education equipment storage area, with so many items it could almost fill a small shop. When the janitor contacted the cat's owner, they confirmed the feline had a history of stealing, leading the school to nickname the cat 'Slingy Malingy' after a character in a famous children's book.
