Our cats get a monthly box of treats and toys in the mail. Sometimes we question whether we should continue the subscription, but they really seem to appreciate it, Tibby in particular: she's never met a cat toy, cat treat, cat structure, cat anything she didn't fully embrace. Heidi, too, enjoys opening the box each month. She likes discovering the theme and seeing what clever little items the curators have pulled together.
This month the motif was "Back to School" which was kind of bittersweet for us. Even so, Heidi examined each item with appreciation, a couple of catnip crayons and a little stuffed composition book. One thing had her stumped for a minute though. It was a rectangular purple crinkle mat printed in segments with colorful images of boiled eggs, baby carrots, mushrooms, and a salmon steak. "What do you think this is?" she asked.
I recognized it immediately. "A cafeteria tray," I laughed. "But I've never seen a school lunch that looked like that!"
