These clever Pussies have come for a picnic in a motor car, they are on their very best behaviour, and have brought a tablecloth and plates with them, and one thing I am certain, their plates will be quite clean when the have finished dinner, because they are sure to like them until they are polished, and there will not be any bother washing up plates before packing up to go home. Lucky Pussies!
