A kleptomaniac cat who has stolen everything from sex toys to grave-side teddy bears has been taken to a psychic by her owner in a bid to get to the route of the issue.
Demo, from Caldicot in Monmouthshire, has become something of a local celebrity with her “bonkers” behaviour and has her own social media following.
Having survived being hit by a car a year ago, Demo began stealing shortly afterwards.

While the habit was initially harmless, with the feline thief returning home with items like gloves, she soon stunned her family by bringing back a sex toy.
The anal beads Demo brought home last September have still not been claimed by their rightful owner.
“Demo is so proud [of her thefts] and cries at the door to let me know she’s back,” said owner Rachel Masterman.
“She always looks so pleased with her big wonky smile – she’s a bit bonkers.”
However, Rachel became concerned when Demo repeatedly brought a Tatty Teddy with a hat saying “special little boy” back from a nearby graveyard.
The mother of the deceased boy was understanding of the situation and eventually suggested Demo keep the toy as she would get a new one, but Demo soon began taking that as well.
“The mother was very understanding,” said Rachel.
“She said to keep the teddy and she would put another on the grave – Demo took that one too.
“She’s a liability but it’s been keeping people entertained.
“They stop me on the street to ask about her.”
Rachel contacted a psychic to try and get to the root of Demo’s behaviour, and sent them photos ahead of the reading.
“The psychic said the teddy is related to a little boy which is pretty obvious from the hat,” Rachel added.
“She told me that Jack [her deceased dog] is telling Demo to bring back the teddy, as I used to call him my ‘special boy’ so I would know that he is okay.”
A woman donated nine Tatty Teddies which were scattered around the grave to try and deter demo, but she has already returned home with at least seven of them.
