I think I just figured something out about my cats.
I've had Larry and Lena for a little over 6 weeks now. I get brilliant morning sun in my apartment. I face east, and I'm on the 23rd floor. It casts big splashes of sun on the floor, on the couch, on the bed.....everything.
I couldn't figure out why my cats wouldn't just find a lovely spot and bask in the sun. They're always lying right out of the sun.....out in the open, on the floor, but to the edge of the sun.
Then, it hit me. They were from a street colony and trapped and neutered and socialized for a couple of months before I got them. I'm sure in their previous life, big splashes of sunlight meant they were out in the open, meaning "bad....don't go there". They spent their lives hiding under cars, etc.
I guess they'll just have to learn that the sunlight is okay.
