Nov. 23rd, 2008 12:56 pmThe 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...?]
