To the untrained eye, this may appear to be just another ordinary floor tile. From the fact is that this tile is everything but average.
It is, in reality, magical.
Just ask Olivia, this chonk of a cat.
Melissa Pea, the owner of Olivia’s, was in the kitchen last year cooking supper when a piece of cooked chicken dropped from the countertop and landed on the tile. Pea was busy, so she didn’t bend down immediately quickly to pick it up.
Olivia then walked in.
She ate the unexpected floor treat, of course, and evidently thought it was a present from the tile itself.
If the odd emergence of food on the flooring could happen once, Olivia reasoned, it might happen again.
“She would come in every day for a week and sniff the chicken location. Every single time. Several times throughout the day, “Pea informed The Dodo. “It was amusing to us.”
After a period of viewing this, the cat’s family agreed to covertly fulfill her wish of locating another tile goodie. They dropped another morsel on the flooring in the same position while Olivia was in another room. Her suspicion was reinforced when she came in to check this time.
This was truly a stunning tile.
It’s been a year since that magical tile first revealed its secret, and Olivia still checks it several times a day – and with cause. Olivia’s family maintains the lovely pretense by leaving a piece of food on the flooring for her while she isn’t looking.
She’s always overjoyed when she finds it.
What Olivia doesn’t comprehend is that the source of that “magic” is actually her family’s affection for her.
Olivia will continue to receive tasty treats from that exact tile. Pea and her family aren’t going to have it any other way.
“We like the fact that it makes her happy! She’s adored, and it’s a lot of fun to witness her respond! We all love seeing her delight.” Pea stated. “We don’t do it all that often. We don’t want to lose the enchantment.”
