Cake Muncher

Charlie!!!
I caught you! Red-handed! Or I guess I should say, red-tongued.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
You did?
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
You’re the cake muncher!
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Possibly.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
You are the guy who munched the top of the cake I made for my book group. And now I caught you ready to attack this muffin!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I was just experimenting.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
You made a mess of that cake.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
It wasn’t very good.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
Not to a cat.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Some tuna on top would improve it!
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
No doubt. Blackberries are not appealing to cats.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
Those black things were TERRIBLE. The cake underneath was good, though.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
I suspect it’s all that butter that goes into a cake. Cats go for that.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
You really should try tuna and butter on top next time.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
I’m not going to take recipe ideas from a cat. Though I once lived with a cat who ate the tops off a row of zucchini loaf cakes that I had left out to cool. She loved them. So I had to make a note on my recipe card to remind me in the future to let the cakes cool in a spot out of the cat’s reach.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
There isn’t a spot out of a cat’s reach.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
That’s probably the case.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Maybe make a cake just for the cat. As a diversion. With tuna on top.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
I’ll take that under advisement.
Love, Carolyn
