1. I pick him up and tell him to look out of the window at all the birds. He doesn’t though: his head is back, his eyes are closed and he’s purring loudly.
1b. Strange sits next to me at lunch, on her back with her legs stretched out – a position she’s learnt from the dog? Later, when we get in from our walk and she gets in from hers, she and Lily sniff each other and rub faces.
1c. Tilda seems constantly conflicted: between being timid and shy, and craving attention. Her switch between the two states happens with a burst of energy, an excited head shake and a bound.
