Cat Decides to Redesign Family’s Birthday Cake That Was Left Unattended
The Howarth family thought their birthday cake was safe in its box, but Bruce had other plans. The 10-month-old cat is still new to the house, still learning the rules, and apparently still very interested in frosting.
Gemma Howarth had ordered a custom cake for her son’s ninth birthday, and the family was excited to enjoy their first professionally made one. Instead, they woke up to a missing layer of icing and a very suspicious-looking cat.
By the time the family started piecing together what happened, Bruce had already left his own little clue behind. Read on.
Unfortunately, the family left the wonderful cake unattended. It had the lid on, so they felt nothing could happen to it. However, they were shocked the following day when they discovered that someone had managed to get in. Almost half of the frosting was gone.
At first, the mom was upset because she was looking forward to this cake. She dreaded the moment she would have to tell her son that it was ruined. Fortunately, the little boy started to laugh when he heard what had happened. Now that they all had a good laugh, it was time to find the culprit.
Bruce was already acting like the main suspect.
The lid on the box hadn't been moved at all, so the offender would have to be pretty small to get in. Besides that, other pieces of evidence pointed to young Bruce.
"We had only left it overnight with the lid on, as our girls had never even knocked anything over, never mind eaten anything they shouldn't," Howarth says. "We knew straight away it was Bruce because of this, and his bright blue poop was the biggest hint."
The family called a vet to ask if Bruce could have any issues from eating the frosting. The vet said it's probably nothing and that they should just observe him.
Bruce did destroy the cake, but his family isn't mad at him. They actually found the whole thing amusing. However, they will take better care of their cakes in the future.
Bruce may have won this round, but the cake box will not be left alone again.
