Why does he like toasters , who doesnt' like toasters . My question to you cat is what do you have against toasters ?
Electric toasters have been in existence for less than 100 years. Yet, people have been consuming bread for the past 6,000 years, and people have been toasting bread since the time of the Romans. Toasting bread makes it crunchier and preserves it, an especially important characteristic for early civilizations. Before the advent of the electric toaster, bread was toasted over an open fire with the help of a variety of simple tools. Then, when Thomas Edison harnessed electricity in the late 1800's, the electric toaster was just one step away from becoming a reality.
Even after electricity was introduced to homes across America, the electric toaster was still not a feasible invention. Just as Thomas Edison searched extensively for an appropriate filament for his light bulb, wire with some necessary properties was necessary for the creation of an electric toaster. Because the surface of toast needs to be heated to temperatures above 310 degrees Fahrenheit, electric toasters must contain wires with the ability to reach very high temperatures without becoming damaged or starting a fire. Such a wire would have many uses, aside from application to an electric toaster. Therefore, many companies strove to discover it. By March of 1905, an engineer named Albert Marsh discovered that an alloy of nickel and chromium, known as Nichrome, had the properties of the sought after wire. Shortly after Marsh's discovery, an employee of the American Electric Heater Company named George Schneider applied for a patent for his version of the electric toaster. In the next several years, there were already several people and companies working to develop their own versions of the toaster.
In the decade following the invention of the toaster, toasters sparked a great deal of public interest, and a variety of toaster models were produced. Then, in 1919 the toaster was improved dramatically by Charles Strite's invention of the automatic or pop-up toaster. This was a huge success, for the timer and spring that it contained prevented the toast in the toaster from becoming burnt. Additionally, toast lovers did not have to constantly watch their toast to determine when it was ready for consumption. By 1926, Charles Strite's Toastmaster was available to the public. The toaster's popularity continued to grow during the next several decades. In fact, the toasters produced during that period of time are not very different from the toasters that can be found in many homes today. By the 1960's, the toaster was common enough and cheap enough that they were available to virtually every middle class family in America. By the 1980's the slots of toasters grew, enabling bagels and wider bread to be toasted. Additionally, heat-resistant plastic and microchip controls were used in the making of the toaster, making it even more economical and efficient than ever before.

My Dear Bomzin,
I can assure you with an infinite degree of certainty that I do not in the least, tiniest or most remote possible way have anything at all against toasters!!
In fact, I have in my possession at this very memorable moment in time, a vintage 1940 ToastMaster! A thing of chromed beauty and function which I dare say produces a more perfect slice of browned bread than does my equally lovely brushed stainless steel modern Cuisanart Toaster Oven!!
My innate feline curiosity was merely peaked by the somewhat ambiguous statement uttered elsewhere in this epistle and since I always pursue my natural inclinations, I chose to ask for clarification!
::cheshire grin::
Now that we are admirably informed on the history of toast....my original question still awaits a considered and knowledgeable reply!
