Her New Best Friend

After a couple of weeks of coming to sleep on the bed at night, Imogen has decided to take herself somewhere else after the lights are dimmed. In that inexplicable way of cats, she has chosen the bathmat in the bathroom as her bed for the dark hours.


Why she has chosen to sleep there, I don’t know, but she must like it, since she also occupies that space when I have a shower or bath. The room doesn’t seem as warm to me as the bedroom, but, with a much smaller volume to heat, it might seem otherwise to a cat, especially if there is residual humidity from a shower.


I suspect that the proximity of other cats, especially Indigo, may have had something to do with her new choice, and it is a bit disappointing that Miss Silky is not still on the bed at night. But she is otherwise her old self and, knowing felines, she may change her nightly resting spot yet again in another fortnight.

  1. Imogen, I am sorry that you have decided to sleep elsewhere for the while. You may spend time in the bathroom on the rug ruminating...and in those rumination's, you may...possibly...recall how soft and warm the bed is, especially lying next to a human. (or another cat) You may wish to change your mind again. Consider...your dad may miss you.

  2. If cats could only tell us why they do certain things, oh, the tales we'd hear...
