Cats and Place

This entry is for the Ecotone wiki's joint blogging topic, Cats and Place.

Never really having been a cat person before it's been interesting to watch what were two feral kittens grow into something resembling adult cats--with no adult training. They know how to find warm spots in the house; they react to chaos in a chaotic way, attempting to reverse it; they play with all kinds of things they shouldn't and shun cat-specific toys.

What to learn from a cat: find a place you like and take over; eat; nap a lot. (Don't go into scholarly publishing, in other words.)
