However, Boris is not just being a quirky, unique cat with a strong craving for sourdough. In fact, many cat’s have a thing for bread.
As it turns out cats are obsessed with the taste of yeast. nothing improves their appetites better, so it’s no surprise that your cat steals bread from a cupboard a or sneaks in to steal your bagel. Try sharing next time!
