Cats and High Places

We have two gray cats that were littermates but that have very different personalities. Esmerelda, pictured here, aka Esme aka Missy Cow-Cow, has a favorite perch on this cherry rocking chair, from which she likes to leap with some commotion onto the book press and bookcase in the background. She also likes to take a running leap up a stepped series of drawers and onto the top of a different bookcase (where we keep fiction and board games).

Winston prefers, at least for now, the high bookcase in Numenius’ office, which he sprawls himself over the top of, white paws every which way.
