At least she still earns her keep as a mouser. My almost 17 year old lady tabby has never caught a mouse in her life, as far as I know. Her only contribution to the household seems to be to act as a bed warmer on cold nights... a bed warmer that snores as loudly, or louder, than my husband does.
Chania is a fully paid up stray who presented herself about 6 years ago and is now 11 aka best vet estimate. She's very practised at sleeping in our room...bed, sofa, windowsill...according to where the sun is. When I wake in the morning, she pads over to me and waits for me to stroke her and make her back arch whilst she awaits repeat treatment ad nauseam. Am sure I'm not the sole cat masseuse on the planet...am I? @joansmor@gardencat@houser934
Two wants to eat in the morning and will not stay close enough to be rubbed. She hops on me and than off running to the kitchen. Than she will be happy to jump in my lap for body warmth.
