Cat-napping

Most cats seem to have favourite sleeping places and our adopted cat Dora's regular one has for some time been this ancient tartan mohair and wool stole of mine in our back room. She's also been known to hop into my suitcase, which has been out quite a bit lately for overnight work trips.


I was a bit surprised yesterday, though, when she clambered into my case as I was unpacking it and settled down for the morning. I thought perhaps she was trying to make a point about how often I've been away recently. On closer, inspection, though, I realised that I'd left it open on top of her favourite piece of bedding, so this was the nearest she could get. Fair point, Dora.
