My cat’s daily routine: Breakfast by 0830 (if not, goes to neighbour’s house and cadges and bowl of food from them). Sleep (on my bed or under the bed). Lunchtime snack of a corner off my cheese and ham toastie. Sleep (on my daughter’s bed). Afternoon wee at 1600. Perusal of his kingdom and plots to take over the world. Dinner by 1830 (if not, stares at us while we’re having our dinner). Killing time (mice). Watches TV with me and then down for a snooze at 2300 in his own bed (that he ignored for two months because it wasn’t our bed). Sleep until 0400. Killing time. Meows at my daughter’s window to be let in at 0500. Treads all over daughter’s face. Leaves for killing time via her window (birds this time) at 0505. Repeat from the start. My daily routine: Get up. Feed cat. Feed cat. Feed cat. No killing. Sleep. (Photo © Paula Gilfillan. All Rights Reserved.)
