Smokey, a fluffy gray striped tabby with golden eyes, stubbornly squeezes into a very narrow strip of evening sunlight beside a wooden chair leg in a cozy cottage room.

Earlier this afternoon, I found a good patch of sunlight and went to sleep in it.

The sun moved.

I woke up and followed it.

The sun moved again.

I relocated approximately one cat-length.

By evening, all that remained was a narrow golden strip beside the chair leg. I compressed myself accordingly.

It was not comfortable.

But leaving would have allowed circumstances to win.

Maeve pointed out that several perfectly good chairs were available.

I looked at her.

This concluded the discussion.

My official position is as follows:

Sunbeams should remain where cats leave them.

The current system lacks basic oversight.
