Black cat sitting on a kitchen counter beside a crusty loaf of bread with a large bite missing and crumbs scattered around. 33 / 37

The Fresh Loaf Has a Cat-Sized Hole in One End. Midnight Looks Thrilled.

AI imageblack catcaught in the actkitchen counter

A golden, crusty loaf sits on the white kitchen counter, and one end of it has been hollowed out in a very ragged, very cat-sized way. Crumbs are scattered everywhere, from the spoon to the edge of the sink. Behind the loaf sits a sleek black cat with glowing green eyes, a few crumbs caught in his whiskers, and a sly little half smile. A bowl of garlic bulbs, a set of keys, a potted succulent, and a bag of lemons complete the scene. He looks positively delighted with himself.

Black cats appear in many breeds and mixes, and despite old superstitions, they are just as affectionate and playful as any other cat. Some people even consider them lucky. As for the bread, plain baked bread is not toxic to cats in small amounts, though it offers little nutrition and can fill them up without giving them what they need. Raw yeast dough is a different story, since it can expand in the stomach and produce alcohol, so rising dough should always be kept well out of reach. It is also worth noticing that garlic bowl on the counter. Garlic and onions are toxic to cats, so storing them in a closed cabinet is a smart move.

Maybe he just wanted to help with sandwich prep, or maybe he simply liked the crunch. Either way, the loaf is now officially his. Call him Midnight, the bravest bread thief in town.
