Pixel the Apartment Cat

Pixel

Black cat, four years old. Rules 42 square metres and every warm laptop in it.

Berlin, Germany

A Small Cat, A Small Kingdom

Pixel has never once wanted to go outside, and she would like that on the record. Her world is one flat in Prenzlauer Berg, and she has it perfectly mapped: which windowsill holds the morning sun, which radiator warms first, and exactly which chair you are about to sit in so she can get there second. It is a small territory, ruled completely.

She has forty two square metres and somehow always needs the exact eight I am standing on.
