It was nearly the purrfect crime. A New Orleans couple called police when they repeatedly found someone else’s clothing strewn around their yard — only to learn that the culprit was their own kleptomani­ac kitty.

Heather Bardifirst spotted a stranger’s gray tank top on her patio chair, along with other duds in her back yard.

But the case busted wide open when Bardi spotted the suspect red-pawed — 3-yearold Admiral Galacticat, with a sock in his mouth.

He’s green-thumbed — and red-faced.

A Pennsylvan­ia city official resigned after he was busted gardening naked in his back yard in plain view of his neighbors.

Harrisburg Finance Director Bruce Weber — charged with indecent exposure last month — threw in the towel to avoid a potentiall­y distractin­g city investigat­ion, his lawyer said.

It’s a dream come true! An Australian woman won a $700,000 lottery jackpot using a set of numbers that came to her while she snoozed.

The lucky lady, from Redlands, Queensland, said she has been playing the same series of digits for 15 years, ever since they popped up in a vivid dream.

She plans to spend her new moolah on early retirement.

A grizzly bear unlocked a Colorado man’s front door and spent the night in his home — before mauling him.

The 400-pound intruder smashed a lever handle on the door then made itself comfortabl­e in the living room of the house in Aspen.

When the guy went to investigat­e a strange sound, the animal swiped his head, neck and face. He suffered nonlife-threatenin­g injuries.

A bird ruffled a town’s feathers when it flew into a power line — and sparked a massive blaze, police said.

The grass fire broke out in Mississaug­a, Canada near two highways on Thursday, prompting firefighte­rs to rush to the scene.
