Notes and Queries tells me that cats are crepuscular (what a wonderful word). This means they are very active in the twilight hours, morning and evening, when they can pounce gleefully on little defenceless creatures who can't see the cats as well as the cats can see them.

I couldn't agree more, especially when it means they take up several chairs whilst sleeping off their dusky activities - you'll notice the "don't even think about it!" sideways glance!

though perhaps this studied indifference is even more cutting - "
your chair ... whatever makes you think that?"
I love that big word!! and the photos of the cat.
ReplyDeleteAh, there is nothing as content as a sleeping cat, especially if they've had an a good evening's hunting!
ReplyDeleteDON'T mention the hunting!! Little animal parts left, all sad and rejected on the sitting room carpet! Yeuch!!!!
