Tune in to Nature

Cats are tuned into nature in a way that we probably don’t yet fully understand. They seem able to detect changes in the weather, and their eating and sleeping habits change considerably through the seasons.

Come the wintertime, for instance, Bob will sleep for hours on end. As the nights close in and the darkness descends, so he curls up and shuts out the outside world. He knows it’s the season to hibernate, to recharge the batteries in readiness for spring.

When spring arrives, he sleeps less and is generally more active. Even his body adapts to the change, as he moults and then re-grows his coat according to the seasons.

We might all benefit from paying a little more attention to the natural cycle of things.
