That Darn Cat

I have ... no, I had ... a pretty ceramic, handmade plate. Not expensive, just pretty. Blues and browns with a horse grazing. We bought it in a small store in San Sebastian last year.

We didn't use it for anything. It just sat in the middle of the dining room table. I bought it only because I liked it.

New Years weekend we moved it. Put it on a pretty turquoise placemat on a small table.

Now, readers might recall, we have a ladron living with us. A sneaky four-footed semi-Siamese, Chica. She steals washcloths, towels, underwear, dinner napkins. Anything she finds that she likes. And brings them to us. Usually, during the night.

Last night, the thief struck again. You guessed it! Placemat and pieces of ceramic plate on the floor this morning.

There is another trip to San Sebastian in our future.
