Sneaky Pie's Cookbook For Mystery Lovers

Cat

PEWTER’S FAVORITE CRAB

1 average—size box of white rice

1 pint fresh crabmeat or crab substitute

Cook the rice according to package directions. As it cools, cut the crabmeat into small bites.

Mix together.

IF WE GIVE Pewter the whole amount, she’ll eat it. Instead, we give her a big helping and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Pewter also came from the SPCA. She was a tiny, round gray ball with cigarette burns on her body. Mother brought her home, to my disgust, but when Pewter told me her tale of abuse I decided another cat wouldn’t be that bad.

She loves Mother, sits in her lap, follows her around, and is the jolliest cat I have ever known.

Some stories do have happy endings.
