In the past I often bought lovely beds for her and they were ignored. After sniffing this new one for a fortnight, she fell in love with it, thank goodness.
Oh, every cat I've ever known has been like that! LK currently loves her hooded fleece bed - a sort of half-igloo - but left it contemptuously alone in its corner for months on end until recently. Just as suddenly, she will go off favourite sleeping or world-watching positions for no reason that we can understand. She's exactly the same with her toys: an item will be kicked into touch and studiously ignored for weeks. Any effort to interest her in it will be met with that Cat Look, the one that says, "ridiculous human. Why don't you grow up?" Then when you least expect it, she'll drag it out and chirrup and chirp and bite my toes until I give in and play with her.
Glad the road's open again; I was wondering if we might have to arrange an emergency Drone Dash with a bag of Purina 1 to your geolocation! We had a little more snow in the night but it barely covered the ground and has almost all gone now. The main problem hereabouts is ice where wet roads and pavements freeze; while the A-roads are gritted, side roads and footpaths aren't. They advise us not to drive in these conditions unless we have to so we try to walk only to discover the paths are even more hazardous.
OH set off bright and early through the ice for his scan this morning, was back home before 11, absolutely starving after 36 hours without food. Now, we wait ....
I'm off to give the kitchen floor a wash. Such an exhilarating life I lead!
