And they are a pain! An entirely worth it pain... They do lay in weird places as many have mentioned - My favorite girl was prone to laying in a cardboard box of dried lavender I had on the deck. She was also prone to sitting on the door mat outside the kitchen slider begging for scraps. Like a dog. Probably didn't help that I gave in every time. If I opened the door, she would burst right in and start cleaning the kitchen floor of any goodies that may have fallen. I lost her to a coyote - I still miss her.
