How relaxed and contented is this cat? Every right-thinking feline knows that a freshly-made bed is just for them. Minou lives with Susie Arnott, who tells me that she is very choosy where she sleeps. I have another gorgeous photograph of her to show you later in the year.

If you don’t speak French, you might not know that ‘Minou’ is the French word for “kitty”. A perfect name, don’t you think?
