Urchin and the Fleece


This grubby yellow fleece is the background to a lot of Urchin's pictures. When she first came to live with us, and wasn't allowed outdoors yet, Paul would bundle her up in the front of the fleece and carry her into the garden, to show her the limits of her demesne. It's become her security blanket. If she wants a cuddle, she'll look meaningfully at the fleece then look back at us until someone puts on the fleece, sits down and waits for the lapcat. When Paul is away, the fleece is spread on his side of the bed, for her to sniff. And it is currently spread on top of the storage boxes where she likes to lie, keeping an eye on us. You can see by the luxuriant display of tummy fur that she is very relaxed on the fleece.
