    Story time: We had a cat named Mowie that absolutely loved bread and pasta. If you gave her a bowl of plain pasta she would eat it voraciously, even growl if you got close to her while she ate. She could finish a small bowl off in a minute. I have never seen a cat take suck big bites either.

    We had to get a bread box because she would tear open the tops of loaves and eat the crust. It was kind of annoying but also funny because she would be on a loaf as soon as you took it out of the grocery bag. All bread had to go immediately into the bread box. This is how I know Garfield was based on a real cat.

      Yeah my cat i had as a kid loved bread. He was always ripping open a bag. We too had to get a bread box. My cat would just eat the upper top part. I guess it was probably the crust he liked. But his approach would destroy an entire loaf even though he only ate like a 4th of it. Cause he ate some part of every slice.

      My mom would be so pissed.

      He always did it at night.

    I constantly have to remind my cats that they’re obligate carnivores, but it rarely stops them trying to get at my (vegetarian) meals

      He’s pretty good about not begging for our supper, but he does go crazy when we have Costco roasterie chicken. We’re cruel though and he doesn’t get any. He’s got a bit of a sensitive stomach
