Cats and comfort


It never fails that a cat will find the most comfortable spot available to lie down to rest. In winter you can spot the warm corners by the pile of cats tangled there. In the barn they will even lie in the fluffy bit of straw that collects behind a cow's elbow or on the sunniest windowsill, or even in a cow bed when she is standing up eating. (This can be very unhealthy if she lies down unexpectedly). Some pile onto sleeping calves until they look as if they were covered with a calico and grey carpet. It took Elvis about five minutes to find this lovely rug my brother wove for me........

  1. Our calico cat will lie on nothing that doesn't match one of her three colors, black, white, and orange-brown. It is truly weird because I thought they were color blind. She isn't.

  5. Jan, that is really funny...and amazing@

    islagringo, I do wish they would stay out from under the cows.

    Windyridge, there is an amazing interaction between cows and cats. Cows will chase cats, sending them running away with great relish. Others will lick them and we used to have a bull that would grab them by the tail and swing them...and the cats came back for more!

    OCG, thanks so much. With the bird one, I had no idea what I had until I downloaded it on the computer.
