Tiny Teeth
One last detail about the torta di riso. Paper towels are no protection against the evil gray master.
While I was blogging about the recipe… Pipie sneaked under the paper towels and…
ate all my favorite parts! the crusty sides and corners!! Aaaarghhh…
Next house we get ourselves into, I want a kitchen with doors. That's it, no more open plans, I tell you.
What kills me is that when I went back into the kitchen, the paper towels were still in place and I didn't even notice the tear and holes right away. He carried out his blitz attack all under the towels.
Who, me?

That cat looks like it ate the canary and is daring you to complain!

Aww, he looks so innocent! Pretty darn smart, if you ask me.
Those are my favourite parts too!

wow, total sneak attack! I'm glad Flour's not a jumper. She can't reach anything.

Hahaha! I can't help but think this is not his first ... he seems kind of a master in attacking food in the kitchen!

I am really trying not to laugh my head off... Pipie looks so cute and innocent under the counter. What a smart kittie.

I want doors to the kitchen too! We have a creme coloured blizzard over here. But I must admit he's not as sneaky as Pipie, and he doesn't look as innocent as Pipie either. And usually he's caught with the evidence still around the mouth, the puppy beard he's having collects everything. Sorry about the torta, but this must be further proof of how good it tastes!

They can be the perfect sneaks when it is something they want.

When my husband and I were newly wed (and very short of cash) I had made a chocolate cake for my mother's birthday. Before I could get the chocolate icing on it - and while I was a single moment out of the room - one of our cats, Jean Jacques, sneaked into the kitchen and took a big bite out of the side. I caught him skulking out of the room, chased him down, and pried that piece out of his mouth!
I took it back to the cake and spackled it into place with icing. Nobody was the wiser, and I didn't tell anybody about it until many years later.
(I certainly wasn't going to throw out a whole cake.)
Aren't they insidious and adorable? Thanks for sharing your story.

Ah, I know your pain.
There was the time that I baked three different pies for a luncheon I was going to. At the appointed time, I took them out of the oven and left them unattended on the kitchen counter to cool.
I left the room for only 5 minutes. When I came back, all three pies were on the floor. Cosmos had removed them from the counter, not spilling a single drop, and eaten the top crusts off.
Apparently, he approved of the crust but did not like the fruity fillings.

LOL! Now how did he get under the paper towels without moving them?

Wow, Pipie may be plotting to take over the world, one torto di riso at a time, that look on his face is very scary!

Too funny!

Well, if that's the same cake you served at Christmas who can blame him?

Funny! When I was growing up our dog got on to the kitchen counter and ate the middle out of a cake my Mum had just made. My Mum took one look at it and blamed my brother - a bit of a family legend to this day!!

That's hilarious! I had a cat once who routinely did things like that. The most memorable was the time I set 2 Cornish game hens on a very narrow window sill to thaw out, figuring Tom couldn't get up there. Not only did he get to them, he ate all four feet. Just the feet, mind you, none of the juicy meaty bits.

Cats. Aren't they great?
Please tell me you still ate the rest of the torto? :P

That little minx! He knows what he did!

I cannot say what looks better: the tempting cake or the cat who ate the tempting cake! Adorable!
