Don't be fooled by a feline

Dear-Addled-on-Cortes
There's been mention of pups and dog care in general lately, but nothing about 
cats. Do you think this is fair?

Dear Cat Hair
You are absolutely correct in feeling slighted. I've been neglecting the subject of
cats and there are so many uses for a cat! One can serve them stewed, boiled, sauteed
with ginger and basil: stir-fried, deep-fried (after you batter them, that's always fun),
stuffed with onions and baby mice, baked in tomato sauce, wrapped in filo pastry, and,
my personal favourite -- kitty pot pied! to mention but a few. Once skinned, cat pelts 
can be effective as rugs, wall tapestries, toupees or footwarmers. A cured skin makes
a drum with an excellent voice ( too high pitched for my taste) and is easy and fun to
bead. Should you have a flair for taxidermy the cat can be arranged in a variety of
poses making it useful as a coat hanger, a hat rack, multiple toilet tissue dispenser, 
scarecrow for the pantry or as a handy object to hang your fishing gear on. Being of a
somewhat reactive nature cats make perfect lab assistants- experiments and all that. A
lobotomized cat is a good cat for a' that. You see, they even inspire poetry! Prose and
poetry, cats and art, cats and history, cat and fantasy, horror, suspense. Such a wide
range of uses. If you have questions on other animals, or recipes for, please, do let me
know.
