Hello, Ruth!
 
 LS> couldīnt find the cake before
 LS> I suddenly looked down under the table. There it was. 
 LS> Upside down with a big
 LS> crater in it. And a very satysfied cat sleeping on the mat
 LS> beside! Wroof!
 RH>   So mine isn't the only cat who's done that!  Only my cat
 RH> went your cat one better - he ate part of a wedding cake....  My
 RH> mother was baking a wedding cake for a family friend, and it was
 RH> big.  She'd partly assembled it, and had left it on the dining room
 RH> table to "set".  The ceramic decoration was already on top of the
 RH> cake, and that night at dinner we heard it hit the table with a
 RH> >thump<.  Since it was heavy and not well-balanced, we didn't think
 RH> much of it.
Oh, my, my...! The fact that your cat survived this is a proof that
you surely are a true cat friend. 
 RH> We should have.  The cat, Max, had chewed a piece out of the bottom
 RH> layer of the cake.  He then proceeded to walk UP the cake, leaving
 RH> paw-prints in the icing, and bumped the cake topper off so that he
 RH> could be King of the Hill. 
 RH> He escaped with his life, but only because he left the scene of the
 RH> crime before my mother saw the damage.  She didn't tell the
 RH> bride until about 5 years after it happened....
But the bride got a cat as wedding present? +
Best regards
