First you take an alley cat -- one that's been down some mean

"falls into the inky abyss".) Then stuff him into a Dutch
(Schultz) oven and boil him too long. Save the leftovers for
future meals.
Tomorrow, Kitty Fricasse. Day after Tomrrow: Kitty and Rice.
After that: Cat Casserole.
(With apologies to Larry Block, who said there are only two
types of mysteries: Those with a cat and those without a
cat.)
Oh yes, all you cozy lovers: I AM JUST KIDDING!
(No animal was actually hurt in the writing of this parody. A
couple of mooks, however, got scrambled.)
