Superior ...

This ginger tom made a serious attempt to adopt us this morning, beginning with a seat on our newly-reinstated garden bench. From there it ducked into the shed, clearly with the intention of snuggling down on the cushions of the garden chairs; when removed from there he jumped - and it was quite a jump - onto the shed roof.

From there he cast a severe eye over the house and garden while we tried not to laugh too much. Finally, majestically, he turned his back on us and stood there with his tail in the air before going about his feline business.
