Target is a wonderful nurse.
Cats are stigmatised as unfeeling or selfish, interested only in what we can do for them. I've never agreed with this prejudice, and last week that belief was tested.
Normally the cats are awake at dawn. They are martinets, the three of them using furry-purry headbutts to bully us out of bed. Once they have had their breakfast, they play, Tic Tac goes for a walk, and then the cats go back to bed, leaving us bleary-eyed humans to get on with work while they nap.
