Cat burglar steals dwarf moggie in Qld

Queensland police are hunting for a cat burglar who swiped a moggie with dwarfism.

Beloved pet Rushka was stolen from his family's home in the regional city of Maryborough sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning.

Police hope he'll be recovered as the ginger cat is easily recognisable due to his genetic mutation, which means he has very short legs.

Rushka's owners had put him in his pen before going to bed. The next morning they discovered someone had unlocked it and catnapped him.

Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
