Ex-Nanny Says She Stole Family's Cat Because They Threatened to Put Her Down

This New York nanny is willing to go to jail for a cat, and it's not even hers. Rebecca Katz faces petty larceny charges after she swiped her former Long Island employers' cat, Tigger, claiming that the family had threatened to put the 15-year-old animal to sleep. Katz, 33, said the mother of the family more than once said it was time to give the feline "the needle" because he had stomach and other health issues. Tigger's owners declined to comment.
