Donut-Obsessed Kitty Keeps A Watchful Eye On A Bakery In South Carolina

Every small town has something that makes it special, but Chapin, South Carolina, has a tale unlike any other.

The mornings here usually start with the smell of warm, fresh donuts drifting from the local bakery, a favorite stop for the community. 

But before the first customer steps inside, there’s already someone waiting at the door.

Surprisingly, it’s not a person at all – it’s a stray cat from the neighborhood who seems to have developed quite the sweet tooth.

The bakery at the heart of this tale is Chickenbutt Donuts, renowned for serving the best donuts in town. 

For many in Chapin, the bakery is the perfect morning stop, and more often than not, Oreo is right there at the front. This chubby black-and-white cat has earned quite the reputation for his donut obsession.

Not only does he show up before anyone else, but he also makes it clear he won’t be budged. 

With a determined streak, Oreo makes sure no one gets ahead of him until he’s had his moment to soak in the delicious aroma drifting out of the shop.

Chickenbutt Donuts recently took to Facebook to spotlight their most loyal patron, posting:

“We open at 6 am. The line starts behind this guy.”

The town has fully embraced Oreo, and the comments on social media make it clear – plenty of people say they wouldn’t mind waiting in line behind their donut-loving neighbor.

Oreo himself, though, seems unfazed by all the attention. While the community adores him, his mind is fixed on one thing only: getting closer to that irresistible donut scent.

The bakery team, who start their day long before sunrise, have grown fond of Oreo’s daily visits.

Every morning he shows up right on time, greeting them as they arrive, keeping them company, and patiently waiting for that first tray of donuts to come out.

Though they love having him around, the staff are careful not to let him nibble on anything sweet. 

Fortunately, Chickenbutt Donuts and other nearby businesses make sure Oreo never goes hungry, providing him with proper, cat-friendly meals to keep him healthy and happy.

Of course, every now and then Oreo’s charm works its magic, and he manages to sneak a tiny bite of a donut.

Still, the staff at Chickenbutt Donuts make his health a priority, so those moments are kept to a minimum. 

At the end of the day, everyone cares about what’s best for him, and that means keeping the sugary indulgences rare while focusing on proper care.

It’s not every day a bakery can claim such a lovable mascot, and Chickenbutt Donuts knows just how lucky they are. 

I’ve already added this spot to my list of places to visit – not only to taste their well-loved donuts but also to meet Oreo, the town’s most famous feline.
