A cat owner in Canada left her corn on the cob unsupervised on the stove only to find it half eaten when she came back, and the culprit didn't even try to play innocent.

In a viral TikTok video shared in September under the username @thesheinshenanigans, the poster walks into the kitchen to find her corn chewed off on one side, as if someone has been eating it. Right away, she knew who.

"So I come to put the corn away because we had it out on the stove after supper, and I find that someone has been eating it. Let's take a look at the suspects, shall we?" she can be heard saying.

She first interrogates one of her three cats, Mama, who gives the corn a sniff and then turns her face away uninterested. Then she asks her second cat, Phoebe, who reacts the same way.

Her third cat, Bear, immediately recognizes the juicy snack and unapologetically takes the chance to eat some more of it.

"Nothing is safe on our counter..." says the caption.

The poster, Nera Pettipas, told Newsweek that Bear is a 5-year-old Manx cat with a very big personality, and he is also a Christmas miracle.

"This time last year, Bear was lost in another part of our county. I had spent the previous five months searching for him and was close to losing hope. Then, two days before Christmas, I received a message from a kind stranger on Facebook who had seen my posts asking for leads on Bear.

"She had seen a similar-looking cat nearby and gave me the address. I went out to the location, and there on a pile of wood in the snow was my little Bear. Very shaggy but definitely my boy. I was so overjoyed to see him, I started crying as I stopped the car and crept out, hoping he wouldn't dart away," Pettipas said.

She initially called out the cat's name to see his reaction. He immediately meowed back at her, so she kept moving slowly, offering him a snack. Then, once she got close enough, she grabbed him and placed him in the car.

"We drove home, me happy-crying all the way and him cuddling up to me, meowing and purring. He was my favorite Christmas gift last year," Pettipas said.

She added that one of Bear's favorite pastimes is begging for food—when he doesn't sneak some from the counter.

While some of our foods are fine for cats to eat, others can be toxic. So before allowing your cat near food, make sure that it's safe for them. Veterinarian Maja Platisa says in a Catster article that corn is safe for cats to eat but doesn't have nutritional value for them.

That's because cats are obligate carnivores that get all their nutrients from eating animal protein. So if your cat eats some unseasoned corn, you have no reason to worry. But if you want to give it to them as a snack, save it only for rare, special occasions.

Other human foods that cats can eat unseasoned and without bones are salmon, chicken, turkey, beef, organ meat, shrimp, lamb, pork and canned tuna in spring water only.

The video quickly went viral and has so far received over 301,400 views and 27,000 likes.

One user, SubwayArt, commented: "Well I wasn't planning on eating anymore but since you insist"

Anntropiya said: "He doesn't have any regrets."

Jo Ann wrote: "He's like, thanks for bringing that. I wasn't done."
