...and the right to spoil two catskins a half

[desperance]

Also, one of the little sods (and yes, I am fairly certain who) stole my cinnamon-and-sultana muffin. Out from under the grill, while it was toasting.

I have skinning-knives, and I do know how to use 'em...

Unless it was the fairies?

Your cats really do eat some bizarre things. I thought ours were weirdos, but yours take the cake. Literally.

Google is your admiring slave (or salve depending on my typing).

We had a cat eat the cake while we were at college - but it at least was cooling on the worktop, not still grilling.

Nah, long way off. About 250 years later, this is. (And it's very obscure, so don't feel bad; it just stuck in my head long ago, the first time I read it, and behold: in my head it still is...)
