Missing Cat in ZIP 95979: Jonesy

It's been over a week since someone abducted my 8 lb., blue-eyed seal point cat, Jonesy -- they might even have broken into the house to do so. Every time I call local law enforcement, I get worse than no help (is that even Colusa County or Glenn County sheriff's deputies who are picking up the phone...???)

Jonesy is almost eight years old and has been with me almost all her life. She has been altered (a cursory examination of the abdomen should reveal two small arrow-shaped tattoos), and has had her shots (her papers are on file with San Francisco's SPCA under my name, William R. Way as well as her own...)

I Haven't Baked A Cake Since 2006

But here it is:


Chocolate cake (from scratch!) using Ghirardelli chocolate, real Danish Creamery butter, and organic eggs from neighboring Rosita Ranch... The frosting is coconut pecan.

(My inspiration for this little pre-lunch project is Nadia Hussain: whatever the challenge, she puts her best foot forward; she has a fresh-faced, no-nonsense, kindly attitude; and she totally rocks that black code, always meaning business. Most important, from the first moment I saw Nadia interviewed on TV, I knew immediately that I could file her under, "Not An Evil Bint From Hell" -- Nigella...)
