Stucker in a Rut

Why is it so easy to find yourself behaving in the same ways day after day? As I mentioned in April, there must be well-worn pathways in your brain that lead you to the same destination once you're on them. It's not just laziness that stops you trying new things, sometimes you don't even realise you have an option to make a change; you're on autopilot till you reach your destination. Suddenly you find that ten years have gone by and nothing is fundamentally different in your life.

Before you start pitying me and my humdrum existence, let me point out that I'm referring to my cats, not me. They're perfectly content to eat the same food day after day, to sit around in the same comfy spots on the couch or in the garden. They have no desire to roam far and explore new territory or test their athletic abilities to the extreme. They don't crave a different diet. Could it be because they're ignorant animals? Answers on a postcard please.

If I were a cat, I'd practice a triple somersault, I'd catch a bus into town and steal top quality fish from the markets. So many options...
