When this stray cat started stealing from a supermarket,
she had no idea her life was about to change completely.

At first, she thought she was being really sneaky,
getting away with free sausages every day.

But little did she know —
the supermarket cameras were watching,
and catching her red paw.

Instead of getting mad,
the store owner was amused.

He started putting the sausages in an easier spot,
and even gave her different flavors to choose from.

Slowly, the cat realized —
she didn’t need to be sneaky anymore.

She could just walk in,
like she owned the store,
and grab the sausage
while looking the owner dead in the eye.

But the owner knew sausages weren’t healthy,
so he began putting out healthier food for her.

Still, no matter what he put out,
she always grabbed a sausage for the road.

One day, the owner noticed the cat limping.
She had broken her paw.

So he immediately took her to the vet
to get her treated.

He didn’t want to see her get hurt again,
so he adopted her.

Now, she has a forever home
and all the sausages she could ever dream of.
