Nice shot, Jon. The cat's class, and so are the surroundings - you can't beat a nice traditional room with a wood burner, warm & cosy!
It's amazing the folks who think that having lounges that resemble an Ikea showroom [all blonde wood and black leather] is a 'cool look'
Cold and uninviting, maybe....

I own an apartment that i rent out that looks like an Ikea showroom and some, and as lovely as it is i’d never swap it for my cottage., it just has no soul or character.
That said, i do feel a bit guilty for charging the rent that i do, but it’s the going rate.

He always wants me to play what we call the 'stick game'
When outside we have a large stick (small branch from our tree) kept near the door and he wants you to run around the garden while he chases it and tries to take it down like he would if chasing an animal - quite cool to watch actually.
When we let him out he always meows as if to say 'come on and play...'
