Oh, You Kids! CAT BREADING UPDATE: Which Mercury Employee Succumbed to the Pressure?

Posted by Bobby Roberts on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 9:45 AM

As was pointed out in yesterday's call to arms, you all need to get in on this cutting holes in bread and shoving it onto your cat's fuckin face thing. And yet, not a single one of the five (FIVE!) commenters who saw fit to weigh in on this amazing new meme posted a picture of their own kitty rocking the finest in baked-goods couture.

Pussies.

I was discouraged by this turn of events, until this picture hit my inbox:

Which prompts the question: The question can now be answered:

It's Marjorie Skinner's cat.

From the email:

1) My bread is too small or my cat is too big. Maybe both.

2) White bread probably would have been less likely to crack.

I like how it almost looks like the bread is PARTED over one side of the cat's serene head.

Real men wouldn't own a Cuisinart toaster oven. But I guess that doesn't really narrow it down, sorry.

Bobby, I expect this kind of anti-vegan hate speech from Steve. But I always thought you were better than that. I hope PETA sues you for keeping animal slaves and throws red paint on your fur coat.

I'm not even NICE to my animal slaves either.

I'll post the answer around 1:30pm

Might I point out that my studio-hovel disallows animal companions? I have no cat to bread.

Bobby, I'm guessing that that's your cat. You mailed the picture to yourself so you could truthfully say that it "hit [your] inbox" without technically writing a non-truth, and left yourself off the poll just to fuck with us.

So I'm guessing that's your gluten-ringed pussy, Mr. Roberts. YOURS!

I might add that this cat appears to be bearing the incident with a stoic dignity that brings renaissance paintings to mind. What a trooper.

The great thing about saying Shut up Vegan is that you make every post about veganism; which only invites me to post more. And I'm always on topic to boot.

I had these delicious vegan cinnamon rolls from Back to Eden bakery last weekend. Seriously, they were like eating heaven. Hard to believe we can make SO MANY delicious VEGAN things now!

I thought you knew me, Blogtown. My cat is a majestic tabby.

I know you feel hurt Alison. Betrayed even. But for some of us all cats look the same.

PEKINGESE OR GO HOME.
