Ode to a Fish Sandwich
“She never knew how many eaters might show up for any given meal, but she liked to be prepared.
A few hours earlier, Burt had dropped off a nice catch from the morning’s fishing. She had just finished carving it into a number of thick filets. A half-dozen seasoned pieces were queued up for the lunch crowd.

The hungry felines pounced on the meal, devouring it instantly. By the time... Winnie returned for the empty plate, the four-footed fish eaters were either sprawled in the shade beneath the back porch or lazing in the cool morning sand.
As the day wore on, the cats would disappear into the cane field across the road, hunting the rodents that burrowed in its dense underbrush, but the felines never strayed far from the diner.
