"He has admitted to have stolen things and made money out of it to feed scores of his feline friends, spending up to 25,000 yen ($250) a day" an officer said.
The booty includes cash and jewels stolen on 32 separate occasions.
"He said he felt happiest when he rubbed his cheek against cats," the officer said.
Demizu kept one animal at his home in Izumi city, western Japan, and about 20 in a nearby warehouse, while feeding 100 more strays that lived in the neighbourhood, the police said.
"He would give them fresh fish and chicken, not cheep canned food," he said.
