Maybe your floors are sympathetically slippery to those of us stuck in the snow?
In the meanwhile, I'm hoping to call and get a chance to talk to the vet. My cat has a HUGE number of allergies that show up on his skin. I also have discovered that he is a bread thief.

He's not exactly interested in his duck and green peas fancy-pants food he gets because of his allergies... he wants bread. So, I partly wonder if this could be a symptom of his allergies...
