Bye Bye, Supper!

[wayfaringwordhack]

Yesterday, my dear fellow and I left a snapper in the sink to thaw --a whole fish that weighed 300-500g.

Last night, I went down to filet the fish for supper.

The sink was empty.

The plastic bag the fish had been in was on the sidewalk, just by the porch.

The fish was nowhere in sight.

Stupid, stupid humans, doing such a thing when hungry strays with a known food-snatching record are constantly slinking about!

As I heard many times during my childhood...That'll learn me.

Let this be the wisdom of the day: Don't do as the aformentioned idiots idiotically did, unless it is your intention to encourage strays to lurk about your kitchen. </end wisdom>

Nom nom nom. Kitty likes snapper :D

Yeah, I don't blame kitty. We like snapper, too. :D

This sounds like a case for Encyclopedia Brown.

Also, this post made me laugh out loud. In public! Shame!

Yeah, because here I am, laying the blame on that ratty ol' calico stray, and it might, just might, be the black-n-white tom. Or, given that there were no bloody tracks on the floor, indicating the sack had been dragged, maybe the culprit was much bigger than a cat...

Be careful of laughing in public. I've heard they've hauled people to the bedlam for less. :P

Oops. You sure it was the strays?

Pretty sure, but not but there's 0.01% that it could have been someone. It definitely wasn't our cats. They are too stupid to take the food further than the floor in front of the sink as many past experiences have shown.
