A cat that keeps bringing random bits of rubbish and other items home through his cat flap is on a mission “to keep Britain clean”, his owner said.
Tofu was taken in by Jane Sweet, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, who found the stray kitten last September.
Since then, Tofu has been bringing home crisp packets, cardboard containers and even a roll of unused dog poo bags.
“I joked with friends that he was cleaning up Britain’s streets, one piece of rubbish at a time,” she said.
Miss Sweet set up a camera so she could watch Tofu and his adoptive sister, Sushi, coming and going.
While calico cat Sushi, aged six, proudly brings home mice, Miss Sweet said Tofu seemed more than pleased with the occasional worm, caterpillar or wet leaf he would drag through the cat flap.
But the youngster has since upped his game.
“The camera caught Tofu bringing me presents,” she said.
Miss Sweet freely admitted her cat’s “gifts” were “random bits of rubbish – it is tat, mainly”.
The first random item he presented to his human mum was a filter tip from a cigarette.
“From there, I’ve had a bag of fish food pellets, a Nutella lid, a jam doughnut box, a lamb shank bone, crisp packets and dog poo bags. The list goes on,” Miss Sweet said.
