Meet the "UK's greediest cat" who "can't be trusted around food" - having stolen a bag of Mini Eggs, two entire pizzas, and learnt to open a microwave himself. "

Black cat Bruno, four, has acquired a taste for human food - like protein pancakes and boiled beetroot.

His owners - Richard Page, 48, and his wife, Lori, 43, an assistant head of SENCO and their daughter, Harriet, 13 - are unable to leave food out in the kitchen at night in case Bruno fancies a midnight snack.

A recent incident saw the foodie feline pinching two pizzas left in the microwave overnight.

Bruno is just one of the family's six-cat brood - also consisting of Sebastian, five, Star, three, twin girls, aged two, and Dave, one.

Richard, a finance manager, from Bingham, Nottinghamshire, said: "Our cats try and eat anything - we can't leave food out anymore, so we don't. "

"I've literally seen one of our kittens lift a packet of Mini Eggs from my wife's bag, with her claws. "

"Sometimes we find Mini Eggs dotted around the house and think: 'Ah - so that's where they've gone.'"

"They've even tried boiled beetroot before."

On May 5, 2025, Harriet cooked two pizzas in the evening - placing them inside the microwave to cool down - but forgot about them.

Richard came downstairs the following morning to find an empty plate in the microwave - and an empty packet of protein pancakes on the floor.

Confused, Richard and Lori asked Harriet if she'd eaten the pizzas and put the plate back in the microwave.

"She said she hadn't, so we went to work none the wiser," Richard said."

"I got home and Harriet said she had something to show me."

While Richard and Lori were working, Harriet managed to shoot a video of Bruno climbing on top of the kitchen counter and pawing at the microwave door.

By grasping the door with two paws, Bruno was able to open it - before falling onto the floor in surprise.

Richard says he immediately knew what had happened to the pizzas, after seeing the video.

"I knew from that point that's what happened - and he'd got at Lori's protein pancakes as well," he said. "

"I don't think it went down very well for Bruno - he didn't seem to want to eat much the next day."

Richard says each of the cats love their food and take "people food" over wet pouches any day."
