What is recorded here

Mairi kept the front door locked against the rain but left the back flap open for the cats. They belonged to no one and everyone, jumping through walls like thoughts. She fed them porridge at midnight and called them by the names of dead kings. The house stood at Castleton, a small croft in Aberdeen City where the boundary between people and animals blurred like breath on glass.
