Necessary though it is, it’s incredibly difficult to prepare the ground for talking. Like a cat getting ready to lay down, all the ritualised routines to define the territory. The fascinating thing with animals is … what makes an animal an animal is that it holds a territory. Setting up a territory is rather like the birth of art: the marking of a territory is not only a matter of cleansing and spraying urinary markers, it also involves a series of behaviours and gestures – an animal’s body posturing, ways of sitting and standing.
