Katz Tales: Cats are expert strategists but, for once, we outsmarted our naughty furry


Cats have an internal clock that signifies mealtimes. — 123rf.com

The cats have their supper at 8pm every night. Afterwards, Target goes out for a quick pee, and then he’s back, ready to curl up on the sofa with me for a nap before going to bed. Tic Tac has a wash, goes to play on the roof, and then she’s back, waiting for Swooner to come home for the night.

Our middle cat knows his curfew is at 10pm. On good nights, he strolls over when I call him in, and he comes home. Usually, he plays with Tic Tac for a few hours, they have a midnight stroll on the roof, and then Tic Tac curls up on her cat tree while Swooner checks into the spare bedroom.
