I'm a firm believer that there is no sound greater than freshly baked bread being gently squeezed, the crust exterior slightly cracking under the pressure of your fingers. South Korean artist
Rato Kim's "Boxcat" creation immediately evokes a Pavlovian response, recalling the smells and sounds of newly baked goods, with its newest iteration: the "Beautiful Brown Breadcat." Completely handmade by the artist, these 4-inch wide, 4½-inch tall, and 5-inch deep resin pieces have been given a makeover to resemble loafs of bread, though with the recognizable ears, tail, and even butthole of a cat. Available with four different face options that are named, nondescriptly enough, A, B, C & D, though I will refer to them as wide (dot) eyes, squinting (line) eyes, sleeping (U-shaped) eyes, and X for a mouth. You can order your $49 "Breadcat" gem now through July 2nd, 2016 by emailing
