A Reddit user's amusing tale of their cat, Mr. Pickles, stealing their bread and later taking over their sandwich has gone viral. The internet is captivated by the cat's cunning and dominance, leading to humorous discussions and warnings about food safety.
A pet owner has shared their humorous experience of how their cat, Mr. Pickles, managed to trick them into questioning their own sanity by stealing their food not once, but twice. The user, CreativeBlocking, described the feline's cunning maneuvers on Reddit, detailing how Mr. Pickles first swiped a slice of bread and later claimed the finished peanut butter and jelly sandwich as his own personal throne.
The original poster (OP) wrote, 'I stood there, questioning every life decision that led to this moment. Did I ever actually take the bread out? Had I imagined it? Was I, in fact, the bread?' Their confusion was short-lived. A small, smug 'thump' from the living room guided them to Mr. Pickles, who was sitting triumphantly on top of the missing bread, making direct eye contact while kneading it. By lunchtime, the cat struck again. 'Guess who's on the table, sitting on my sandwich like it's his throne? Mr. Pickles,' added the OP. 'I am being dominated in my own home by an eight-pound furball with a superiority complex. Send help. Or at least bread.' The post resonated with other Reddit users who shared their own tales of feline mischief. One user quipped, 'Mr. Pickles should give you a heads up about kneading the bread... That's the yeast he should do.' Another shared a relatable struggle: 'My cat stole a chip from me today. We KNEW he wanted to steal a chip. We were watching him. We said 'do not steal a chip.' But he's really fast!' Several users cautioned the OP about food safety and hygiene, advising against eating food that their cat had been on.Mr. Pickles isn't alone in his thieving ways. A separate incident reported by Newsweek detailed how a calico kitten named Penelope went viral for stealing her owner's crab Rangoons and fiercely defending them. The owner, who shared the moment on TikTok, pleaded, 'Can I have those back please?', but Penelope had no intention of returning her prize. According to Cats Protection, an animal welfare charity in the United Kingdom, feline food theft can be linked to natural hunting instincts and the desire for high-protein snacks. However, overeating can lead to obesity, which affects an estimated 43 to 65% of cats in the United States. Another Newsweek report revealed that some pet owners are often surprised by just how crafty their cats can be. One viral clip showed a cat engaging in dramatic antics to manipulate its owner into giving it extra food, proving that some felines will stop at nothing to get their way. For now, Mr. Pickles continues to reign over his owner's kitchen, leaving them—and the internet—both entertained and slightly outmaneuvered by a, 'Bread-hoarding goblin.' The OP admitted in the thread that they could, 'in theory', buy a fresh loaf. But at this point, it's not about the money—it's about not letting Mr. Pickles win. The battle for bread dominance continues
