And Percy has ZERO remorse for it.
Meet 19-year-old Sophia Lindner from Ardmore, Philadelphia, and her family's cat, Percy. The Lindners have had Percy for six years now, and for six years, Percy's been up to no good.
Lindner told BuzzFeed News their cat has been mischievous since the day they got him. Especially when it comes to getting human food by any means possible.
"Even though he knows the rules, he will still try to sneak around them," she said.
She then went on to list all of the things her family's caught Percy with that he knows he's not allowed to have: "Chocolate cupcakes, PayDay bars, popcorn, ham, chicken, beef jerky, pasta, Cheez-Its."
"He knows how to steal out of tupperware containers, cupboards, and backpacks," Linder said.

However, on Christmas every year, it's become tradition to make cinnamon rolls in the morning, so Lindner specifically and firmly warned Percy to not try anything. She said their cat understands the word "no" very clearly now.
"He knows that the word 'NO' in a low tone means 'don’t do whatever you’re about to do'," she said.
Lindner explained that she had to repeat "NO" and "GET DOWN" several times.
