My Canadian friend Sylvia tweeted this photograph of her sister’s cat Scarlett at the weekend. Fluffy Scarlett has found a way of squeezing into this basket so that she can lie right down and snooze on her sunny window sill. To be honest, I don’t think it even looks that comfortable, but I have lost count of the number of times I have seen a cat fast asleep in an awkward position. I think they relax so much that they forget how squashed they really are.

Plus, cats have a bad habit of never admitting to mistakes.
