 MENU FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 19, 2012

My cat speaks English.  Yesterday was her annual trip to the vet.   She figured this out early in the day when we wouldn’t let her out and then we closed  the door to the powder room (We had the cat carrier stashed in there) As the morning wore on she became smaller and smaller and finally almost invisible under the big sofa. She had heard us talking and she knew...

Small as she is, she is a hell of a wild cat to capture and load into the carrier.  This is not her happy place.  And the names she called us! Who would have thought that such a normally well-mannered animal could use such language – but this she did. She had some unkind words for the vet as well.

Fortunately her visit was a short one  and we were out  fairly quickly.  Then she was free to chase all the robins she wanted.  And as a reward for leaving most of our skin intact, she got two  shrimp for dinner…
