Dusty in the Stanford Video studio with owners Jim Coleman and Jean Chu
If any video equipment turns up missing at Stanford Video, the staff should look no further than Dusty, the “Klepto Kitty.” Videos of Dusty, a four-legged cat burglar, have gone viral on the Internet. He’s also been a hit on Animal Planet and the local news. Dusty, who lives with his owners in San Mateo, steals his neighbors’ belongings — swimsuits, underwear, shoes — upward of 600 items over the past three years, according to KGO-TV. Last week Dusty visited Stanford Video, where he and his owners — Jean Chu and Jim Coleman — recorded a live feed for the Fox News morning show Happening Now. According to KAREN SUTTON, executive producer/director at Stanford Video, Dusty wanted to run around the studio a bit but was otherwise pretty well behaved as cats go. Sutton, who also managed a job for the Medical Center on Friday, added: “Today my day was about cats and clinical trials. It’s never boring.”
