Further Introductions

As a further introduction to the "stars" of this blog, here is a picture of Dolley


and here is a picture of Clara


Clara has some clouding in her eye.  She was born with it and the vet thinks it's a congential defect.  It doesn't effect her vision at all, although I think she uses it for pity on unsuspecting guests as a ploy to get more food...  The only effect she seems to have from it is a slight lack of depth perception, which can make it a little humorous (and treacherous) to play with a string with her...  otherwise, she is fine.

I was inspired to start this blog when I came home from work yesterday and found this


Most days, when I come home, I find something out of the ordinary.  Today, I knew that Dolley was the culprit because she has an unusual love for bread products.  I don't know why, but she will seek out bread (or bagels, biscuts, crackers, rolls, pretty much any wheat product) and eat it.  She will chew through the plastic bag to get to it.  Owning Dolley prompted us to need a breadbox; just to keep the bread safe.  Many times, I have come home from the grocery store and forgotten to put the bread safely away and woke up the following morning to find a massacred bag of bread or bagles on the counter.  One thanksgiving, we had no rolls becasue she had helped herself to an early feast on the rolls.  My husband can't even enjoy a sandwich in peace because Dolley will sneak attack his plate and drag the bread off.  I don't know what's wrong with the cat!!



Has anybody else ever had a cat or dog (or other pet) that had an unhealthy love for some strange food?
