Preferred perching places

The owners of our house had designed it with all kinds of built-in concrete shelving - presumably for holding speakers from the music system or television. Our cats, however, consider these to be a perfect, custom-built playground. Each has their own favourite spot for taking a nap or being in a vantage point from which to survey what the rest of the household is up to - whether from the little shelf next to my bedroom door, or from the very highest one in the living room. Tamba surprised us all this week, however, by disappearing during a long session of vacuuming and finally being discovered high up on a kitchen cupboard above the sink!
We had fun celebrating Ada's birthday yesterday - seeing a movie, walking around the Plaza Mayor, and finishing the day by having supper together - but it turned out to be the last of the dry sunny days and this morning the torrential rain was back again. That, of course, is always an invitation for the cats to find a more cosy communal siesta spot on a warm bed... but once the noisy thunder and lightning started up, Tamba recruited Tobi to the new place of refuge on the kitchen cupboard!
