Cat Breading in Three Easy Steps

It’s the latest craze, People. Cat Breading.

Step 1: Grab your kitteh


Step 2: Grab a bread-related item (whole grain, Wonder®, pita or tortilla, it don’t matter)


Step 3: Shove that bread over your kitteh’s head, laugh manically, then take a picture.


And don’t forget that Yorkies are basically cats too, so they can participate.


We finally succumbed to featuring this worthwhile meme. Many, many more photos over at Breadedcats.com. Thanks to Ant who always has his antennae on the pulse.

    Something tells me Yorkie owners may object. Cats might, too….

  2. Mary (the first) says:

    That looks much tastier than PB & J .. yummy

  3. old goatlady says:

    Ahhh, the third kitty looks like a Rex, a pretty pissed off Rex at that! (hee! hee! I’m sorry, but if laughing at breaded cats is wrong, I don’t wanna be right ;)

    My kitty gives a 4 paws down on this latest fashion craze.

  5. old goatlady says:

    P.S. Whoever decided to put a tortilla on a black Rex was a GENIUS! Looks like an evil little Miss Muffett!

  6. Mina says:

    My cat would just eat the bread. She’s so not picky about human food.

  7. Alice says:

    Oh dear. You may think it’s cute, but really those cats are inbread. Very sad. :(

  8. Theresa says:

    Harmlessly pissing off cats is always a source of amusement.

    • arachnophile says:

      My thoughts exactly. Heaven knows how much I love kitties but there is something sublime about earning the “stink-eye” from my girl. ;)

    You could stick a piece on a bun and it would be the Yeaster Bunny. How’s that for a rye remark?

  10. Gigi says:

    That is so mean…I love it!!!

  11. Lindsay says:

    Cat breading? That is so adorable – and so last week. Today, it’s all about Pizza Beagling. It’s a thing. Really. http://pizzaonabeagle.wordpress.com/

  12. Fird Birfle says:

    Two more thoughts:

    1) Obvy the Great Financial Downturn of the 21st Century must be over now
    if peeps can use their bread for humiliating los kittayes ….

    2) Are the three steps for Cat BrEEding, any different, from the three steps for
    Cat BrEAding??

    Signed,
    This will be in Moderaysh for the Rest of my life.

    I know this looks hilarious, but each and every cat’s face was strained and upset. I don’t see why anyone would think this was okay and cute. I can see when we have to help our cats like putting on medicine or trimming nails or something and they get mad and upset this way, but just for our amusement is really breaking trust with our friends.

    • Annie Stuart says:

      Ding ding ding! We have our first nuff, ladies and gents! Let’s all give lisa a hand!

    • old goatlady says:

      I don’t know, I think it’s fair after the umptity-ump time I’ve had to either clean up a hairball mess squished between my toes, or been purposely tripped (“oh, were you going to walk THERE”?) by one of my cats. They know it, and I know it.

    • AuntieBellum says:

      I don’t see strain or upset. I see boredom and resignation.

      Or, rather, I just see cats. (And a dog.)

    • restodresden says:

      I’m not sure what kind of cats you have, but mine would never let me do anything to them that they did not care for without a massive struggle involving claws. My guess is that these cats probably aren’t being tormented in any way, shape, or form. They probably just think “WTF, hyoomans?”

      These don’t really look that pissed off…. well, okay, maybe the tortilla one, but you can’t really see its ears, which adds to the whole ‘pissed off’ motif.

      As it is, my husband has disallowed me from breading our cats. I’m tempted to balance a muffin on top of one of them, though, and see if that counts….

  14. blair says:

    looks more like breaking bread with them

  15. chanpon says:

    I particularly love the gatortilla in pic three. *polite golf claps*

  16. alysonmiers says:

    I’m trying to think of what kind of substances were involved in coming up with this idea. I get that a misspelling of “cat-breEding” would lead to “cat-breAding,” but then who would turn that into fitting slices of bread around cats’ faces? The phrase “evil genius with too much time on hir hands” comes to mind.

    I’m also trying to think of how my former ResQte Kitteh would have felt about this. He probably would have batted the stupid thing off his head, pummeled it down to a ragged bunch of crumbs, and then demanded cuddle time.

  17. 6Rabbits says:

    All have that very long-suffering look of “Okay, time again to let Mom think she’s in control for a couple seconds.”

  18. Greg says:

    Your Ants having tentacles might be why we never see any pictures of cute little ants, huh?

  19. ash says:

    “Shove that bread over your kitteh’s head, laugh manically, then take a picture.”

    this is how the marryjeewanna mixes pets and endless entertainment. lol.

  20. birds9y9 says:

    Bread looks especially delicious with a *marmalade* kitty. :>

  21. michael says:

    Are we supposed to laugh manically or laugh maniacally? the text has one, and the hovertext has another. Or indeed, can we do both? Laugh like a manic maniac?

  22. I wonder what cats ever see in us. Humans are such dorks! But oh my it’s funny.

  23. I haven´t LOL´d so much in….. this year so far! ROFL LMAO and all that. :D
    Sheer Genius.

  24. Momof14cats says:

    There is no breaking of trust. Seriously. Once you’ve put a cat in a lobster costume and laughed yourself sick over it, you realize our feline friends *know* they owe it to you. I have never yet alienated any of my furries by having a bit of a laugh at their expense. Truth.

  25. snorglepup says:

    Looked through the whole-wheat web site of bread-head kitties.
    Runs to find camera and kitty…

  26. ironprostate says:

    Couldn’t get the keekee’s head through the sour dough bread. :(

  27. TUM says:

    My dear departed Toby used to stick his whole arm into the bread bag to pull out a slice from the middle of the loaf. Of course, he’d shred four or five other slices in the process.

  28. LORETTA says:

    Guess I’m out of sync, but this is not cute!

  29. skippymom says:

    Eddy is so gonna get breaded next weekend.

  30. kiragirl says:

    I’ll have my Yorkie lightly toasted and buttered, please. Thank you. Can I get that to go?

  31. MM says:

    Poor Yorkie! I mean, the humiliation of having bread on its head, sure, that will subside quickly. But being called basically a cat!! This offense will not stand!

  32. Lerrinus says:

    My JRT would shake off the bread, then wolf it down! She’d never hold still for a pic!

  33. wuyizidi says:

    If I were to attempt any such shenanigans with my cat, step 3 would be replaced with the phrase “and that’s when things got stabby”.

  34. Teresa says:

    :lol: I can see all three cat pictures on the LOLCats website with the caption “Breaking News” or with words stating what the cat will be doing to the person who did this to him/her very soon :lol:

  35. I needed a good laugh. Thanks!

  36. Lauren says:

    oh my gosh tortilla made my LIFE.

  37. @MrBignell says:

    Thank you for bringing tears to my eyes and giving me a new hobby. My wife has already forbidden it; this is gold XD
