Broody cat?


Five reasons why the brindled studio assistant is being very sensible . . .

1/ it's overcast and there's a cold easterly blowing off the North Sea

2/ the hen-house is dry and clean and quiet

3/ straw mattresses are soft and smell lovely

4/ the ginger studio assistant is occupying the cosy chair in the house

5/ the studio door was closed


She has decided to stay there for the afternoon – I have let her keep the eggs to cuddle. I wonder what will happen if an under-gardener wants to lay an egg!

  1. We're all a bit broody here too. Yesterday we got hail, sleet, snow, lightning and thunder. What an adorable face that kitty has. --Curmudgeon

  3. That is not an unintelligent cat! That looks like the warmest, cosiest place in the United Kingdom at the moment!

  4. Our old Siamese cat used to curl up in a nest box when he was tired of ratting.
