New York, New York - A mischievous cat has attracted viral attention with a daring theft in this new raw (very raw) footage.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Leaving food lying around unattended when there are pets in the household is probably not a good idea.

This was the experience of pet owner Danielle Burman, whose 1-year-old cat Spicy recently set his sights on a raw chicken breast in a hilarious new Instagram video.

Dogs Golden retriever's cuddle session with tiny kitten goes viral!

In it, the cat owner can be heard "arguing" with her naughty kitten over the chicken theft.

"I have never seen Spicy open the plastic of any food and then steal it," Danielle told Newsweek.

"He tries to steal pizza and eat pasta if it's already out, but this was the first time I left the room and he opened it and ran away with a whole chicken breast," she continued.

"I was initially very scared because I thought I needed to take him to the vet immediately to get his stomach pumped."

Experts warn against feeding raw chicken to cats due to the risk of bacterial contamination and unbalanced nutrition, so most vets recommend cooked chicken over raw.

Spicy was lucky in this case!

"Online it said to monitor him for a day. He didn't have any symptoms or issues and never threw up," Burman said.

"He is as good as ever... just an absolute scavenger. Lesson learned!"
