This Cat's Reaction To Toasted Bread Has Internet In Stitches

A viral clip showing a cat fighting a piece of toasted baguette has left viewers in stitches.

The video posted to Reddit by u/AzulaOblongata, has so far reached almost 35,000 upvotes and garnered over 400 comments.

In the video below, which features a caption that says “I was told to this sub might like my silly girl,” shows a cat trying to defend herself from a somehow threatening piece of toasted bread that the owner left on the bed for her.

In the video the woman can be heard reassuring the cat, whose name is Gallifrey, that it's just a piece of bread, but the very suspicious cat won't give in and just keeps fighting with it until she knocks it off.

Some other users focused on the fact that there's going to be breadcrumbs on the bed, and that's gross. One user, CFM5680, said: “What kind of monster eats toasted bread in their bed. I'm itchy just thinking about it.” And MrSpreadsheets added: “Disgusting behavior... so many crumbs on that bed and eventually floor. Gross.”

After receiving hundreds of complaints regarding crumbs in bed, AzulaOblongata gave an answer that hopefully reassured everyone concerned: “I vacuumed right after.” And OutlandishnessAny256 said: “Thank you, now I can enjoy this wholesome video in peace.”

Others tried to understand why Gallifrey was so afraid of the bread. Bubbly-Incident commented: “At first I thought it was another cat smh Bread looks like it has cat ears.” Brian_06030 added: “And it's colored like a calico, and the cats a calico. Cat 100% thinks you ate her sibling.”

NihonJinLover wrote: “She thinks it's a snake. It's the same reason my girl was terrified of bananas and lots of other cats are scared of cucumber, eggplant, remote controls, certain flat shoes, etc.” Unwantedposterboy added: “Bread snakes are dangerous as f***.” And Enzo_baglioni said: “Gotta watch out for the toasts! Even a few croutons can be scary if they gang up on you”.

Huckamole joked that like us the cat may have actually been scared of carbs. “That's right kitty, carbs are the enemy.” And Dumbkitty2 thought the cat did a great job guarding her territory: "You have a mighty defender of your home. Let no toast go unpunished for trespassing." AzulaOblongata answered: “She is the Gluten Goblin,... the CRUMB CRUSADER”.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) website, fully baked bread is safe for pets as an occasional treat, as long as it's just bread and not raisin bread.

And while cooked bread may be ok for your pet once in a while, dogs and cats should never be allowed to eat uncooked, yeasted bread dough, because raw, uncooked yeast ferments the carbohydrates in the dough, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide which is toxic for them.

The Practical Path to a Pet-Friendly Rental: A Data-Backed Guide

“I would have lived in a tent before I surrendered my dog ,” says Valerie Ducharme, a renter who faced the Yukon's housing crisis with her Australian shepherd. Her sentiment is common. According to a 2023 Canadian Rental Housing Index report , nearly 40% of rental households include pets, yet a systematic analysis of listings in major Canadian markets shows that less than 30% explicitly welcome them.

Rough Collie Is Now The Most Aggressive Dog, According To Science

Often touted for being highly affectionate, Rough Collie has topped the list of 23 other types of dogs known to be “aggressive,” according to new study published in Scientific Reports. Researchers from Helsinki who studied the behaviour of more than 9,000 dogs covering 24 breeds found that Long-Haired Collies, like Rough Collie, Miniature Poodle, and Miniature Schnauzer are more likely than others to exhibit aggressive behaviour. The study also revealed that small dogs are more likely to behave aggressively than mid-sized and large dogs, but due to their size, are often not seen as threatening and the bad behaviour therefore goes unaddressed. Male dogs are also more aggressive than females and neutering them has no impact. The researchers noted that Labradors and Golden Retrievers known for their docile temperament and gentle nature, are the least aggressive dog breeds. Notable breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans and British Bulldogs were however not included in the list. ...

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution. Indicator of a Professional “Before the bath, we apply a sterile, vet-approved ophthalmic ointment to lubricate the eyes and create a barrier against shampoo. We av...
