A man obsessed with cats burgled dozens of homes to buy food for his feline “friends,” all 120 of them.

Demizu first kept cats in 1993 and began giving leftover food to strays in 2010. He lost his job in 2011 but continued to feed cats with money from a woman he lived with.

“The number of cats I fed gradually increased, and I ran short of cash,” he told police.

Demizu repeatedly broke into homes in Izumi during the day, through unlocked windows or by finding keys hidden outside.
