Dorobou Neko is a Japanese slang which means 'burglar cat' and which today is often employed to describe a girl or woman who seizes the boyfriend of another one.It seems that this expression originated in the stray cats who were regularly stealing some fish in the fishing harbors.
Handmade and hand painted in Mino (in Gifu Prefecture, Japan) these cute ceramic statuettes are an humorous representation of this term...
The cats are all wearing headscarves on which is drawn the pattern ' Karakusa Moyou' which is a traditional symbol associated with the thieves. They also carry a small backpack that allows them to carry their finds.
