Cats are territorial creatures who like to explore their surroundings.
But in the case of a cat named Nellie, she did something more than just sniff in this hilarious incident.
Allison Riebel, Nellie’s owner, is a veterinary student at the University of Illinois.
She said of Nellie, “She lives to eat instead of eating to live.”
Because of her tastes, this calico cat has become quite creative when it comes to trying to get the treats that she craves. This was put on display recently after Nellie discovered a plastic container that was filled with the cookies Riebel had baked for her human friends at the Wildlife Medical Clinic at the University of Illinois.
The curious cat managed to work her way through the sealed container and busted all the cookies out.
“Nellie somehow opened the container and took all the cookies out and onto the floor,” Riebel said. “The funny thing is I know she took them all out separately because if she had just knocked them out of the container, the cookies would have broken.”
But that’s not all. As it turns out, the cat wasn’t satisfied with just laying out the cookies on the floor. She actually took a tiny bite out of every one of them.
“So she took them all out separately and chomped them all separately and did it quietly enough to not get noticed,” the kitty’s owner added.
When Riebel decided to take a break from studying, she caught Nellie red-handed, so to speak, as soon as she stepped into the dining room. Nellie was primly sitting beside the half-eaten cookies at that time.
“She did not seem guilty,” Riebel said. “She plays it off very well. It’s both infuriating and hilarious.”
