improvement project. In the blink of an eye, Cecil swallowed thousands of dollars. The incident unfolded in their home when Clayton discovered Cecil amidst the remnants of what was once their budget for a new fence. “It was so out of character that it just didn’t seem real,” Clayton reflected on the unexpected turn of events. Despite Cecil’s history of never venturing onto counters or showing interest in anything but cuddles, this particular envelope of money proved too tempting.

You just have to love them anyway,” she added, highlighting the unconditional love that pets like Cecil bring into our lives, even when they dine on something as unconventional as cash.
