UP ON THE ROOF

Binky has, for many years, occasionally appeared at the bathroom window, meowing, wanting to be let in. Usually at night, when it is dark. I think she is attracted by the bathroom light. You can make out her black and white form behind the frosted glass. I have never worked out quite how she gets up on the end room roof.

Well the other night she wanted to be let in with the usual meow. Mitzi looked up and wondered what was going on. So she hopped up onto the window sill. Just as I let Binky in, Mitzi squeezed out through the gap under the sash window. And before I knew it Tommy had hopped up and limboed under the window too. They thought it was wonderful! Oh to be high up on the roof, level with the birds. I crouched down and peered out of the window and there they were, the two of them, gingerly perched near the top of the apex looking out.

BINKY'S BED
A few months ago I was very excited as I bought a radiator cat bed. It is soft and fleecy and you hang it off a radiator for added warmth and cosiness. A couple of the fur babies investigated it and I woke up one morning to discover Tommy in it. But apart from that nobody has touched it. A disappointment I have to say. I thought they would have loved it.

Woke up a couple of days ago to find Binky curled up in it! Was so thrilled! And later that day she was in it again. And she is in it now as I type. Maybe she thinks it is a sink because she spends some of her time in the bathroom sink, hoping for a drink. And it does resemble a furry sink, as Martin remarked
