Katz Tales: Inkie’s secret war

When La Nina launched her wet winds, Target shivered, meowing pathetically until I settled him on top of me and covered us both with his favourite Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia batik. It’s so old now that it’s super soft and thin in parts. But we love it and it traps the heat nicely.

Inkie pitched up too, lying up against me, demanding his share of the batik. He’s been cuddling recently, so I wasn’t surprised. However, I didn’t realise at the time but this was the start of something bigger.
