the art of cat sauna

Leicester's latest napping spot is the shelf behind and above the Aga.  He's just climbed down and gone straight out through the cat flap into the snow.

Humbug meanwhile, was on the steps, trying to stalk a blackbird on the lawn, when another blackbird came down the steps from the terrace and practically pecked him on the bum before flying off.  He never really worked out what had happened though he did give the bird on the lawn a very aggrieved look.  I think he's working on the theory that blackbirds, like so many things in Humbugworld, teleport.
