The Small Back Room

Neville sometimes goes down to the library to rest. I am not sure what the attraction is for him. He has never been a big reader. It can be cool down there, especially, I would imagine, for an oldster like him. But he has a comfy couch and - I think this may be the main draw - the other cats don’t spend much time in the library. But I worry that it is too cold for him, and at meal-times, if he is still in the library, I have to bring his food all that way.


Now, I have noticed that the Nevsky is spending time in the cat-room. He climbs to the top of the tree under one of the windows. I don’t think he takes advantage of the view, despite the fact that it overlooks the back garden. He snoozes there from time to time, and feeding him in that location has the advantage not only of proximity, but of observation: I can see him straight down the corridor and know when he has eaten what’s in his dish, whether he wants more, or whether he is sated.


Why he has started inhabiting the cat-room, I don’t know. It is another of those sudden changes that cats, so much the creatures of routine, nevertheless periodically undertake. I am not using the cat-room for a new cat at the moment, and if Sable, during her visits to the room, finds another feline there, it won’t do her harm to be introduced to her oldest roommate.


Nev has found another comfortable corner of the Cosy Cabin to inhabit, and I think it is a nice change.

  2. Neville, my handsome Pal, I am so glad to find you feeling well enough to climb a bit. Surely you enjoy the view before your nap. Make yourself available to Sable and anyone else who would care to come calling. However, I am wishing you had found a warmer room for your change of venue. XX

  3. Such a handsome boy. It seems he has been playing Goldie Locks and trying out a room at a time until he finds one just purrfect.
