The kleptomaniac cat nicking knickers in Hamilton
Nico the Great has been nicking knickers in Hamilton. For the record Nico is a cat burglar, an actual cat that is a burglar; apparently sneaking onto people's properties day and night collecting their smalls and other bits and bobs. Nico trumpets his return to his Hamilton home meowing repeatedy when its been a successful hunting party and displaying the ill-gotten gains for his whanau. But Nico's thieving has reached epic levels. Since April he's collected about 200 items that need to be returned to their rightful owners. Nico the Great's owner Kateshe Clark spoke to Lisa Owen.
