Kitty, curious

There's a window at eye level in my near-basement kitchen and it's rather a convenient spot to stow dishes that are in transition between the oven and the fridge. I've taken to leaving a rack in the window ledge for cooling cookies and pies and such too.

This particular casserole (penne, 3-cheese sauce, bacon, peas) (oh yeah) was awaiting a delivery of breadcrumbs and I was pottering about in the kitchen when one of the countless neighbourhood meowzers came by for a sniff. I did let out a bit of a shriek (it's surprising to see anyone -- human or feline -- making an attempt on your supper) but she turned out to be pretty cute.

She then stood guard for a while.
