It's funny how Persia will watch and chatter at the outdoor birds but she
really never paid much attention to my indoor birds.  She was fascinated
with my parakeets, Rachel and Lorien, when she first came around here but a
squirt bottle cured her of trying to get at them; gradual introduction and
she was content to just watch them.  And now she can very often be found
meatloafing near Peaches' cage but she never, ever bothers her.  Who says
cats can't be "trained"?

OMG! Yoda loves basketball, too.
Now I'm gonna tell you this story at the risk of sounding like a
fruitcake, but I swear it is true. Boots lays on the foot of the
recliner with DH and sometimes appears to be watching TV. We were
watching this movie, "Dark Water". She was staring intently at the
screen for a long, long time. If anyone has watched it, the gist of
the story is a haunted apartment where it all begins with a leak in
the ceiling. Then Boots started staring at the ceiling.
Now, tell me this. Do you think a cat has the ability to actually
*process* that kind of information? She used to stare at the ceiling
when the AC vent would come on, I guess it makes a funny noise. So
this *could* be coincidetal, although the AC wasn't running at the
time. I swear, it was kind of creepy.
