There are three feeding arrangements in this house and they are not interchangeable. There's the bowl on the kitchen floor, refilled daily, entirely exposed — anyone could walk past it. There's the cupboard, which holds the week's supply and stays sh...

A cat sleeps around sixteen hours a day, and people describe this as laziness because people are bad at reading other species. It isn't laziness. It's allocation. Tuga is an ambush predator with an expensive metabolism and a narrow window in which ef...

There is a large dog three doors down. He is four times Tuga's weight, considerably louder, and entirely convinced of his own authority. He also does not decide anything about this house. He can make noise at the gate for as long as he likes; the rul...

Tuga's territory is not the whole garden. It's about two-thirds of it, plus the wall, minus the far corner where the neighbour's tom holds an opinion. She patrols what she can hold. She has never attempted to claim the entire street, and she has also...

Nobody has ever looked at Tuga and thought I would like 0.3 of that. A cat is an indivisible unit; you get all of her or none of her, and the all includes the 5am opinions. Money is not like this, and everyone knows it. Nobody refuses to save because...

Feeding street cats is a strange kind of budget. It isn't large, but it is relentless: food twice a day, every day, plus the vet bill that arrives without warning when one of them turns up limping. Anyone who does this eventually reaches the same tho...

Before Tuga puts her weight on anything questionable — a fence rail, a wet windowsill, the arm of a chair that moved last week — she taps it. One paw, a small press, a pause. Sometimes twice. Then she commits. She is not confirming that the surface i...

Tuga eats at the neighbour's house. I know this because she comes home at 6pm entirely uninterested in dinner, wearing the expression of someone who has made other arrangements. The neighbour is kind, reliable, and has fed her for years. She is also...
