Pussy of the Week

A celebration of domestic cats, their curious habits and the little things that make indoor life richer.

The window-watching domestic cat

This opening spotlight celebrates a familiar feline pastime: watching the world from a comfortable indoor perch. A secure, closed window gives a domestic cat something interesting to observe while keeping wildlife out of reach. This is an editorial feature, not a named pet profile; no owner, age or rescue story has been invented.

A small change worth trying this week

Check your cat’s viewing spot for stability, a comfortable way up and blind cords or opening gaps. Keep the window secure. Pair watching time with short supervised play sessions and scratching options rather than relying on a view as the only enrichment.
