to blame the cats...

[someonestolemynick]

...for eating dp's birthday cake?

He knows I'm making a cake for his birthday tomorrow. The cake is in the oven and smells heavenly. WANT!!!!

He's out at the moment... wibu to eat the whole thing and blame i on the four-legged gang?

One of my cats goes mad for cake. It's entirely feasible.

Personally, I only like cake mix. I think cooking it ruins it.

The cats would only lick it and eat a small piece. You would be rumbled.

YANBU....our lady cat eats ANYTHING

I have a lovely photo of one of mine scoffing a Mr. Kipling's apple pie.

So far it's a tie...

Don't know how long I will be able to resist.

Could you not just blame some extraordinary oven malfunction?

My parents' cats ate an entire Christmas cake. Go for it.

scarlet..."A black whole opened up in the oven". Is that believable? Otherwise I would have to be able to produce charcoal.

stealth Can I call you as a witness?

Make him a 'shape' cake - eg a letter - which involves (sadly) cutting away some of the cake and icing/whatever the rest.

Absolutely.

Go ahead - blame it on a cat burglar.

Too late, he's back :-(

In the kitchen, with the cooling cake, cooking dinner ...the bastard.

Completely unreasonable behaviour. He doesn't deserve a cake.

Maybe I should LTB...and take the cake

Good decision, OP - Let him eat bread!

My cat ate a birthday cake that had be shut in a cupboard to protect it from the cat. She also ate frozen bread. Odd cat! YANBU, blame away!

Or a very selective burglar?

It's threads like this that make me love MN.

I got as far as decorating the thing without eating the lot...where do they hand out the medals?

Really, really deserve that coveted mn medal. The cake made it to him and he cats still have an unblemished record [angel]

So now he can eat one slice, duly appreciate it, and leave the rest for you and the cats?

Whoever said about shaped cakes had a good point. Trimming cakes to silly shapes results in copious amounts of "spare cake", which is my DC's favourite kind of cake .

The sole purpose of having cats, kids or husbands is to give you somebody to blame.
