Cats' lovely things in the kitchen

Four- and-twenty blackbirds, hidden in a pie....

Of course , cats do not belong on the kitchen table .

OOOOHHH? REALLY ?

But what about this blackbird pie , conveniently standing there and tempting every cat worth his ( or her ) salt to have a go at it ! I mean , really !
This wonderful pie was baked by Maureen Ballantyne, who was one of the first (as far as I know ) to make these kind of humorous miniatures.

Another lovely thing is the batch of fish lying there, and nothing be done with it for now. If I were a cat, I would be hanging about there, too....
