My Cat's Not A Cat, He's A Sloth

This is Duncan, our cat.

He's still quite new to us, and came to us as a rescue by the RSPCA from a bad situation. We've only been letting him out for a week or two, and it turns out he didn't know about "Outdoors", he'd clearly never been allowed out or had his own space.

So he's having to learn how to be a cat. Mostly this involves zooming around the in the garden like a maniac, hiding under bushes to ambush anyone walking past, and generally having fun. It's good that he's active, he came to us very malnourished and need to build his back leg muscles up a lot.

But today, we've finally got some nice weather, and he is learning that other cat skill, of lazing around. He's found the warmest spot on the patio, and is just totally slothing out. When he shuts his eyes like that, it's a kind of pleasure-trance for him. He loves the sun !

When he's not lazing, he's been doing some mellow pottering, as this photo shows. He is definitely settling in to his new life well !
