Every so often, my human enjoys having cornbread for breakfast, so she brought a piece home from the market the other day. But when she got up the next morning, she found a crime had been committed in the kitchen!
In the dark of night, somekitty had her way with the cornbread! My human was shocked. Never before had any resident cat even hinted that they had a depraved cornbread craving.
Immediately, suspicion fell on the tortie. It always does.
But my human decided not to jump to conclusions. She placed the evidence in front of Boodie to see her reaction. Does she look a little… sketchy?
Wait a minute — is she actually going to snatch a bite in broad daylight?
But just when my human thought she had found the guilty culprit, Binga proved she was not so innocent after all!
Hmmm….it appears that you have a whole house full of suspects. Kitties do have curious tastes sometimes. Manna will steal mandarin orange slices from me. I get this feeling that Binga may be the culprit.
MOL Nevew leav wanted food wiff in a kittys weach. MOL
Luv ya’

How could you look into those gorgeous eyes and say the tortie did it…..? In our house the blame usually sits at the door of the one with the longest hair…..which actually means the favourite human’s goofed up again or Red did it!
I finks this bes a case for that Sherlock Holmes dude on the TV box…MOL..
well, until we saw that last picture, we were gonna say Minnie did it 😀
Odds on it was Binga. Around here, food that isn’t in a secure container can’t be left out on the counter like that, because there wouldn’t be any left by morning, and the culprit would have been discovered by who was passing plastic wrap. We are impressed that none of you have shown interest in food like that before!
We didn’t see a thing. Just like we don’t know how all the little tooth-shaped holes got in the bowl of apples here last week. We think you have a mystery muncher.
Now, Really, I know mom would have cut off the corner where the kitty spit was, an just carry on.
If it were at my house, it woulda been me. I’s been caught eatin cornbread before. And most everything else.
Maybe you all had a cornbread party.
Sparkle, are you sure it’s not YOU ? Pixie protests strongly against these prejudices against forties ! Purrs
Bwwwah! I went with the “who cares” and so did most everyone else! MOL!!! Maybe whomever was after the plastic wrap? That’s what Cody would be after!
How come you were not one of the choices on the poll Sparkle ?
Cause I don’t go on the kitchen counter!
Yep it’s definitely a southern staple. WE make it homemade or from scratch…hey isn’t that what we do in the litterbox? Scratch?
I think Binga was ready to take a bite. I have a kitty who does that. Cannot leave anything out. He doesn’t really want the food. He just wants the to chew the plastic.
Surely, SURELY you don’t mean to say that she threw it away!?!?!?
Also, I find this rather speciesist. I mean, isn’t there, you know, a D-O-G that lives in your house? And come to that, another HUMAN??
Why does her first thought LEAP to the kitties?
And, Sparkle dear, why are YOU exempt???
Doesn’t your human know how easy it is to make cornbread? And it freezes very well.
I would eat cornbread. I love corn
our the mom would have just eaten around the cat spit. she has had kitties who licked the powdered sugar off donuts before. those she did not eat.
I would have just eaten it. Who’s afraid of a little cat spit?
TW only eats cornbread if someone makes it and gives it to her or it comes with her Boston Market chicken which she hasn’t had in years. She bets it’s something a cat would like. Nicky used to like Irish soda bread. Now she’s caving some.
Mmmmmm … cornbread. 🙂
Did you ask Sparkle? Perhaps she will rat out the culprit. 0r, maybe is was a mouse?!? Do all the cats jump on the counter?
This cracked us up, especially as the culprit chewed right though the plastic wrap. Mom knows better than to leave anything nommy out on the counter. She says to find the naughty kitty just look for plastic wrap in their poop. MOL! You have made her want to make cornbread for dinner tonight. We’ve never tried any. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
p.s. Efurrybuddy knows that Mauricio is the cat in our household who uses utensils. Mom had a good laugh at your comment.
Maybe your Mom sleep walked and took that little bite while she was dreaming of her breakfast? I mean just cause you offer the cat some cornbread and they take it doesn’t mean anything.
It’s usually Binga, isn’t it? I voted, but as we don’t have cornbread here, it’s not an informed vote. Perhaps it was you, Sparkle? 😉
Unless there’s absolute proof, we think both are innocent!
It might have been me!
nommy!!!
Jake eats cornbread. ALL THE TIME.
Doesn’t matter (tho I think it was Binga – sweet Boodie would never do anything like that). If you are squeamish about cat spit then just slice off the end, toast and butter and jam it.
P.S. I have a recipe for the best cornbread evah – I’ll send it to anyone who would like it.
My bro Russell was a notorious cornbread thief. He always thought that pan cooling was for him! Me, I prefer something salty.
I’m going with Boodie. Like Ray & Rachel do, if one knows the other is usually guilty, they can attempt to MAKE it look like that kitty did it, even if he/she did NOT! And they get away with murder, giggling behind their dirty paws!!
Look for cornbread crumbs in the poop! MOL
Purrz!
Selina
PS – You had MomKatt laughing at “cornbread lust”. We bet Ray would TOTALLY go for it! He’ll eat anything!
Why do we torties always get the blame?! It could just as well have been your human who is the culprit– some humans sleep walk and eat and then don’t remember. Are there any paw prints at the scene? Fur hairs? If there is no forensic proof then you cannot blame Binga- that’s cat type profiling!!
-Clove (I recently adopted angel Ms. Phoebe’s human!)
OH MY CATS YOUR HUMAN LOVES CORNBREAD SO DOES MINE!! AND SO DO IT. MOM MAKES THE BESTEST CORNBREAD IN THE SOUTH AND I ALWAYS GET SOME. SO I SUSPECT EACH WOULD HAVE DONE IT BUT WHO ACTUALLY GOT THERE FIRST IS THE QUESTION?
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
Well, we know it’s not Sparkle. We voted Binga.
We opt for the “Cornbread Gang” at work…
And of course, #1 would have just cut off the end and eaten the rest!
Purrs,
The Chas
Poor Binga! Why does the tortie always get the blame??? (Alas, it *was* probably her.)
They could be co-conspirators.
My mum had some cornbread when she was in Sweden a while back and really liked it. She can’t find it in England.
She’s also very careful not to leave any food laying around because she knows me so well!
Well, our human, who loves cornbread but seldom has it, doesn’t care who did it, she just wants to eat the rest of it! Ha!
Thanks for stopping by with bday wishes for Derry yesterday. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be fun if it was Sparkle. Maybe she found something she likes to eat. Take care.
Can’t believe how many poll respondents have answered ‘who cares…’ Everybody knows corn bread is a gateway food to much harder foods… U must get to the bottom of this… My guess was boodie… Her face looks a little too innocent….
We think it probably was Binga…but your human left it out so it was free game. She should just cut that part off and eat the bread. 🙂
We think it was Binga. If the humans don’t want us cats eating their food, they should put it away and not tempt us with it.
Yeah, we gotta go with Binga too. 🙂
Cornbread is a Southern delicacy …. We think it’s Binga!!!!
Ummmm. I realize that….well mmmmmmm. Aren’t there 3 kitties living there? Cornbread sorta has the same color as salmon…. Just sayin’
Mom had learned to never leave any foods
laying around.We like to sample human food 😉
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
I’d say the guilty party would be the more reluctant one.
We voted but nothing happened – what’s corn bread we don’t know that in the UK?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You need to click on Vote after you’ve made your choice. Cornbread is made out of cornmeal, and my human swears it is amazing. I think it originated in the south or something. All I know is it is not salmon.
