Silly Cat Is Totally Convinced This Spot On The Floor Is A Magical Dispenser Of Food
One tiny kitchen accident turned into a full-blown cat conspiracy, and Olivia is still completely committed to the theory. A single piece of chicken once hit the floor, and that was apparently all it took for her to decide one particular tile was special.
Since then, Olivia's family has watched her return to the same spot with total confidence, as if the floor itself might reward her with another snack. Melissa Peña and the rest of the household have clearly leaned into the joke, even if they do not want to encourage it too much.
Now the only question is how long Olivia will keep believing in her magical meat dispenser.
This ordinary-looking area of an ordinary-looking floor is special, at least as far as Olivia is concerned.
She's a tad on the chonky side, but she's precious and purr-fect in every way. She's also obsessed with a single tile on the kitchen floor. "Why," you ask? We'll tell you why.
Over a year ago, Olivia's mom was preparing dinner in the kitchen, an ordinary daily task like many others that humans do. Except that particular night, Melissa Peña allowed a single piece of chicken to fall to the floor!
From the counter to the floor, the small chunk of chicken fell to its doom. As often occurs on a busy weeknight, Peña ignored the fallen piece of poultry to finish her task first.
Which, of course, is when Olivia strolled in. What cat wouldn't delight in a piece of fresh meat? Olivia wasn't going to let it go to waste; she chowed down with enthusiasm immediately.
And that is where Olivia's theory began.
Apparently, for sweet 'ol Olivia, this delicious mystery meat must have appeared out of thin air, gifted from the very tile it was sitting on when she discovered it.
Apparently, Olivia must have deduced that if the delectable snack could appear once, it could appear again. Melissa told The Dodo:
"Every day for a week, she would walk in and sniff the chicken spot. Every time. Several times a day. We thought it was hilarious."
We're sure Olivia wasn't researching it in her spare time, but her family was definitely keeping an eye on the daily antics, and they decided to intervene.
One day, when Olivia was in another room, they placed another meat morsel on her precious tile spot and waited for her to discover the treat.
Still, Olivia was not ready to give up on the magic.
It’s giving the same “wait for everyone” energy as this kitten who refuses to eat until the entire family sits down.
It would appear that upon discovering another delicious treat, Olivia's suspicions were confirmed: her tile was a magical meat delivery system, and she had no reason to ever give up on her hopes that a daily drop of meat might appear.
Cats are smart, but it seems that either Olivia has trained her humans, or she has no idea that they're intentionally providing the occasional meat snack. Either way, her family has said that Olivia seems visibly delighted, if not fully thrilled, to discover the occasional surprise snack, and her family loves her so much that they think it's great to keep the dream going.
Melissa said:
"We love that it makes her happy! She’s very loved and, honestly, watching her reaction is so fun! We all enjoy watching her excitement. We don’t do it too often; we don’t want to lose the magic."
Olivia is not letting go of this one.
