We seem to spend much of our time trying to work out why our black cat does the strange things she does. Sitting on and inside uncomfortable things is just one of those. She’s got several comfortable cat beds that we’ve bought her over the years, including one that looks like a cosy little igloo. …
We hadn’t thought much about owls attacking cats until we read an interesting article in a UK newspaper (we’ll link to it below).

Whether it’s crying like a baby in the middle of the night or climbing people like a tree, there’s rarely a dull moment when you share your home with a feline.
