I Lost Fluffy

 All of the cats have their favourite place to hang out.

Seven of the cats love to be in the dining area; the kitchen/dining area is one long room. In the cooler months, the cats would be near the windows or curled up on the sofa. Now they've taken over the table because the fan is blowing across there.

Where to eat?

Alfie stays in the tatami room. He likes being by himself or with just one other cat, either Toast or Fred.

Fluffy, however, changes her favourite place every few months!

When it was cold, she would be in the kitchen a lot. I put a small, round table in the kitchen, which is a similar height to the counter. My idea was to use that for my cookbooks or iPad, a place to have the books without them getting covered in food or being in the way. But Fluffy took that over! That became her perch! Until a couple of weeks ago!

I came into the kitchen one morning, and Fluffy wasn't in her usual place. I didn't think anything about it. After a couple of days, I realised that she was stalking me when I was cooking chicken or meat. That was unusual.  I decided to see where she was. This house isn't that big, and there aren't that many hiding places, but after two hours of searching, I was very worried. I looked under things, in things, I had moved furniture and opened cupboards, but no Fluffy.

I was worried that she had somehow gotten out or was sick and hiding somewhere. Either one of those scenarios wasn't good.

When everyone came home, I asked them to look for Fluffy.

My oldest son said she was in his room, but I had looked in there.

He said look up!

I found Fluffy balanced on the curtain rail!

Fluffy is balancing on the curtain rail.

My son said that she had been sleeping up there, but keeps falling down!

I wonder where she will go next time!
