We have two cats, Apollo and Starbuck (yes, that’s a Battlestar Galatica–from the rebooted series–reference). Apollo, an orange tabby, is like a dog in a lot of ways, and he’s my little man.

He’s also a little terror around my baked goods.


I don’t know what his deal is, but he will steal cupcakes (typically unfrosted) and cookies if you’re not standing guard over them as they cool. Which makes no sense to me, since cats aren’t supposed to taste–or even like–sweets.

But Apollo does.

For the record, this is DEFINITELY not a habit I encourage. He’s scolded when it looks like he’s stalking my baked goods, and I try to keep them away from him, but apparently even my work table or hightop table in the living room won’t stop him.

Needless to say, when I finally have a bakery of my own, he will NOT be coming to work with me for that very reason (plus, you know, health code laws).
