NEWS INTRO

A brazen cat burglar and his crew of accomplices recently pulled off a bold caper in broad daylight but they didn’t steal anything… except a few million hearts.

When Silvestro, the leader of the notorious “Kitty Gang” found himself shut out of the home he and two dozen other felines share with humans Antonio Bosco and his mom on the Italian island of Sicily, he leaped into action—literally.

 

Launching himself at the door, the prodigious puss managed to snag the handle and spring it open, allowing himself and his cohorts to breach the perimeter and stampede inside.

“Silvestro the smart cat is also the undisputed leader and protector of our cats,” Bosco told The Daily Mail.

It seems that Silvestro’s inherent bravado is aided and abetted by a keen sense of intuition. After performing an especially fine feat, Bosco reports Silvestro knows he’s going be rewarded with extra loving and treats. “He understands when he’s done something special,” Bosco said.
