finding the same space. QED.

Aw, they are so cute, I remember when my last two used to curl up tigether - then later they seemed to really dislike each other.
This morning I looked out of my bedroom window and there were 2 pure white cats
on my lawn - I thought the neighbour only had one. One was patting and scratching at something, the something would startle it and it would jump back
then repeat the patting. The other was just sitting there, watching.

So right, - they're also very good at finding the coolest places on a
hot day and beating you to the warmest places when it's cold.

I think that's why I love cats - it's sheer admiration of what is the ultimate self-serving creature and how they get away with it. Whoever
said "Dogs have owners and cat's have staff" knew his/her stuff. It
takes a small kitten about two minutes from scratch (pun intended) to completely subjugate it's new human servant.

Sometimes Mila (the eldest) will watch Maggie at play, almost as if
she were supervising.

I have enjoyed being a servant for many years, it is actually, as far as I can
see, much easier than looking after a dog.
I do like dogs, a close friend always had dogs ( these days she spends several
days a week looking after her daughter's dog who is always pleased to see me) and both daughters have a dog. One Visla, a big soft mutt who things he should
be a lapdog ( his head fits not much else) and a little French Bulldog. They
are adorable, but so needy. :-)

My granddog (somewhat ignominiously named Tom - more suited to a cat) is a large, black rescued Greyhound. He also thinks he is about the size of a chihuahua and is never happy unless he is lying across one or other of us when
I'm visiting. He's always puzzled when I'm there as he doesn't know which of us
to lie on - so he takes us in turns. Not as needy as my step-daughter's old Dobermann though. He slept under a blanket and used to wake her up to replace
his blanket if it fell off - he never mastered crawling back under it again. A
bit like his namesake - Scoobie-Doo - he wasn't-a the brightest, but he usually
got what he wanted.
These two I assume were from the same litter.

My mate's neighbour had a black and white Inspector cat somewhat
similar. My friend and I were laying a slab drive way for his father and
the neighbour. The cat came out and examined each completed slab with
great thoroughness, and then went back in and
waited for the next one. It got to be a standing joke - "You can't start that job yet - the cat hasn't checked the last one." I don't know what
would have happened if it had disapproved of any of our workmanship.

No kat, Mila is a Ragdoll.
The grandkids thought it would be nice to get her some company, so
they later acquired Maggie who is part Ragdoll. Not sure which part
but she still has blue eyes so far. :-)
