A naughty cat made no effort to hide how smug she was after she opened a Tupperware and took a bite out of each cookie inside. For the cat crazed of the world, we're quite familiar with the shenanigans our cats can get into... which is why this cat's naughty behavior is unbearably adorable.

Nellie, the cat, like most of us, loves food. Her owner, Allison Riebel, describes her cat as “lives to eat instead of eating to live,” which is pretty much on par for a lot of cats... Nellie’s love for snacks is so strong that her owners even managed to teach the cat tricks mostly reserved for dogs - sit, fetch and high-five, by enticing her with snacks.

But working for food doesn’t always agree with Nellie, and she recently got her paws on some snacks behind her owners’ back. Clever cat!

Allison is a volunteer at the Wildlife Medical Clinic of the University of Illinois, and she wanted to treat her fellow volunteers with some homemade cookies. Knowing Nellie is around, she tried to protect them and decided to seal them in a Tupperware.

The container seemed a safe enough place, impossible for a cat to open. Apparently, no plastic container is safe enough when Nellie notices treats.

The cunning cat opened the Tupperware somehow, and, probably as a proof of her victory, took a bite of each cookie. Like she was saying: “Nellie was here.”

Allison said about this funny situation:

“Nellie somehow opened the container and took all the cookies out and onto the floor.

The funny thing is I know she took them all out separately because if she had just knocked them out of the container, the cookies would have broken. But they were spread out across our dining room floor with little bites out of each.

So she took them all out separately and chopped them all separately and did it quietly enough to not get noticed.”

Allison became aware of the theft when the cat knocked something over, and she came to see what’s happening.

She saw her cookies dispersed all over the floor, and everyone had bite marks on them. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what happened.

Although Nellie was most likely aware the cookies weren’t made for her, she was extremely pleased with her accomplishment, and a photo shows the cat smirking at her owner like she was waiting for applause.

Allison continues:

“She did not seem guilty. She plays it off very well. It’s both infuriating and hilarious. She’s very proud of herself.”

Obviously, there is nothing this cat can’t do when it comes to food.
