Oh hi Casper, nice of you to pop in. Having slept soundly all day, you've been all over the place in the last few hours. Nocturnal, basically.

Casper has a tracker on his collar. It shows that from 8.30am to 5.30 pm today he went precisely nowhere at all. A solid 9 hours kip except he followed me down to the kitchen around 12. So if you go out to work & find your cat in the same spot when you get back, now you know.
