Tuxedo Mom Is Horrified After Seeing Cat Napping in Her Homemade Pie Crust
Baking can be sort of relaxing can't it? Unless you have a cat. Then it can really test your patience. One cat mom learned this the hard way when she walked into her kitchen and saw her Tuxedo cat chilling on the graham cracker pie crust she made.
We know the cat mom was swearing up a storm on the inside, but she managed to keep it cool in the clip.
We hate to say it, but the clip makes it so much worse than it probably was. The footage shows the tuxedo cat resting on the stove top — or was she?
With one prod from mom, the cat got up and revealed she was sitting on a pie pan all along. The trail of graham cracker crumbs the cat left as she got up is hard to watch. What's worse was the hole the tuxedo left at the bottom of the pan.

"How I felt after she decided to take a nap in my freshly-baked graham cracker crust," the woman wrote in the video's caption.
The comments section was quick to come to the cat's defense. "If not cat bed, why cat bed shaped?" one person pointed out. "In her defense she also wondered why you had a bowl of warm sand if it wasn’t for napping in?" someone else wrote. "It's so cute cause you know she thought, wow what a perfect size circle," joked one person. "She’s innocent officer, she just wanted to help you make a cutie pie," chimed in someone else.
Why Do Cats Sit on Things?
Sometimes it feels impossible to understand what goes on inside a cat's mind. They truly are mysterious and do the strangest things. But one question that has plagued humans for years is why do cats sit on things — weird things, like boxes...or pie pans.
There are lots of theories out there. One is that a cat will always sit on whatever is occupying your attention so that you'll pay attention to them. You know this is true if you've ever sat down to read a book and then plop — your cat sits right on top of it.
The shape of the object can matter. Another theory is that a box can make a cat feel secure, just like they do when they're huddled up against their mom and siblings as babies. Cats might also like boxes because it warms them up too.
By nature, cats are territorial. So they sometimes will sit on something to get their scent on it and claim it as their own.
The answer is that cats really are living in their own little world. They have a whole different rhyme or reason for doing things. Hopefully they just stay away from your pie pan while doing so.
