Viral cat steals corned beef from Crock-Pot in impressive heist

by

A cat became an internet sensation after cleverly opening a slow cooker and making off with a whole corned beef brisket!

Okay, so I just saw this TikTok and I had to share. This cat is a total pro! It jumped up on the counter, somehow managed to get the lid off this container – seriously, the paw work was amazing – grabbed a huge piece of beef, and then bailed out of there! And the best part? Another cat was just watching the whole thing happen, like it was totally normal. The video already has almost 6 million views, and I can see why – it’s hilarious!

The purrfect crime

A home security camera recorded the incident around St. Patrick’s Day in 2025, and the footage was uploaded on March 18, 2026.

Commenters quickly started praising the cat’s problem-solving skills.

One person commented that it was amazing how the cat managed to open the crock pot’s latch. Another viewer pointed out how sweet it was that the other cat was calmly waiting to share the food.

Cats are smart and often figure things out by watching people – like how to open doors or latches. They then try to copy what they’ve seen. As for whether another cat managed to sneak a piece of that delicious brisket, that remains a secret!

This cat is incredibly skilled, but most cat owners have probably seen their own cats steal food from kitchens or cupboards. While things like childproof locks or storing food higher up can help, a determined cat will usually find a way to get what it wants.

This week, another cat has become an internet sensation – following a similar story of a cat repeatedly crossing the border between the US and Canada.
