The Great Cat Crouton Caper

WANTED

FOR CROUTON ROBBERY AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT

If you see this cat don't DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT!

Go immediately to Oreo My Cat 

Oreo was a naughty cat before Thanksgiving.  Jill made some croutons the night before we were to travel two hours to have our Thanksgiving dinner.  Jill left a grocery bag with the croutons in it on the floor thinking nothing of it and we went to bed.  

Oreo decided that was the perfect time to throw off her good cat persona and become a savage, hungry, wild beast.  Oreo apparently climbed into the grocery bag which she does.  She discovered the crouton smell coming from a ziplock bag, and bit a few holes in it, so she could lick some croutons and play with them.  This is something, I think, every cat would do if given the chance.  In hindsight, it was pretty obvious Oreo would do this.  She adores Cheetos and is always very interested in our toast.  The other thing she did is a surprise though; Oreo bit open a bread bag and gnawed off the edge of a few slices.  I have no idea how she got a taste for plain bread.  

Oreo was trying to raise the dead rather early in the morning.  Jill and I managed to doze through a good portion of it because Oreo does such things from time to time.  Sometime between her caterwauling, I believe the crime was committed.  If only we had checked on her.  

What could've caused such strange behavior?  This is a constant question on many cat owner's minds.  In The Curious Incident of the Cat in the Nighttime, I hypothesize that Oreo knew we were leaving because our bags were packed.  Oreo does not like it when we leave her, therefore, she doesn't like it when we pack our bags.  Cats have unique ways of showing their displeasure. Anyone care to share their unhappy cat story?
