This is a follow up on the cat and rug picture page. This is probably the best cat and rug photo that I have seen. Why?
- the rug is really nice 😉
- the cat is gorgeous. Her name is Millie.
- Millie appears to have made a little open-ended wigwam out of the rug. That is quite clever and a neat piece of cat engineering. I wonder if Edgar, her human companion, provided some assistance?
The picture reminds me that cats like little dens and places to hide and rest in. This is to be expected. Small wild cats do this as a matter of course.
The response from us could be to provide an area where a cat can rest while feeling safe. However, these are normally available anyway and if not the cat makes one.
My thanks to Valley Girl for picking out the picture.
Good point. I just feel that she is making a den, a place that is more secure. But I know this home is very nice and secure so I could be wrong. Millie could simply like carpets 😉
Or maybe she just likes being extra warm.
These are sort of my thoughts too. There may be a bit if anxiety as she seeks a “safe place” but who knows. It is not uncommon for cats to hide under carpets. Millie may have a slightly insecure personality.
Millie thinks she’s a mole ; ) She likes to burrow doesn’t she. She likes to go under carpets. On a more serious note I wonder if she is a tiny bit anxious. She appears to be seeking a den – a safe place. Your home looks extremely safe and very cat friendly so it’s a bit strange. Is there a cat tree for her to climb – a piece of cat furniture for climbing? Something vertical.
Millie is a beautiful cat. I wonder if she has a natural instinct to ‘hide from prey’. Not that she looks worried about it or anything. Some instinctive behaviors just surface in some cats. Like when a cat tries to bury it’s food bowl when there is nothing but tile floor around… Or covering dung.
