The boys are out there on the landing, where the sunshine is.

Mac has the top step, and is pressed against the balustrade to snatch the last minutes of sunshine as the mischievous stuff moves on.

Barry is on top of the chest of drawers: which is a position he can defend, and which will inherit the sun any moment now and keep it for at least twenty minutes.

Um, he can't possibly have thought about this, can he...?

[Also, does Barry get warmer than Mac in sunshine, on the ground of having black fur which should absorb more heat than a classic tabby...?]

I know that one time in summer Phredd happened to touch the top of my head for some reason & got all shocked--"Are you okay??? Your head's burning up!" Which amused me, b/c hey, that's just how it feels in sunshine w/dark hair.

Yes, Barry soaks up more heat. It's how black cats power their Malfortune Mechanism.

He presumably has a body memory of previous occasions when warmth has happened at this particular spot at around this time of day.

Yes. Mum's black dogs get very, very warm in the summer/when they're in front of the fire. But they seem to like it.
