Buttons was partial to all types of clothing, ranging from bras, underpants and socks to adult sized T-shirts and even a tankini.
Indrisie was often woken early in the morning by a purring Buttons dropping her night-time haul on or beside her bed.
"We have a cat door and sometimes she can't get her stuff through it so there's a pile on the other side of the cat door. The neighbours tell me there are undies and socks caught on the same spot on the fence up the back."
She said many residents in Buttons' street mistakenly blamed other people for the disappearances. Indrisie is quick to put her neighbours straight about her feline's activities.
Buttons also has her own Instagram account, @buttonsthethief, to help return stolen clothing to owners.
