Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2004Looking at the ceiling
Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the ceiling ... almost as if the laser pointer light is there or some such distraction... but nothing. Does anyone else's cats do this and any idea why? -- rach > Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the ceiling > ... almost as if the laser pointer light is there or some such [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > rach Yes, Holly does that. Then I will also stare intently at the ceiling because she looks like she has seen an insect -- but I never see anything.

Pudge used to do this to the floor, and if I looked really, really closely, I'd sometimes see one of those teeny ants. But most of the time I think cats are having LSD flashbacks. :)  Signaturehttp://www.mindspring.com/~slywy/ http://slywy.diaryland.com/ > > Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the > ceiling [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Yes, Holly does that.

My theory is that it's a cat mind game - if they get you to look, they win. :) Hilary > > > Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the > > ceiling [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Hilary I sometimes think they're able to see ghosts..........

And then, the cat has a good laugh because s/he fooled you. lol ;) Mia > Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the ceiling > ... almost as if the laser pointer light is there or some such > distraction... but nothing. Does anyone else's cats do this and any idea > why? Sure! It's because "cats see things that we can't." (This is a funny cartoon by B. Kliban, done in the '70s.) My Gnarly, when we lived alone, loved to wait until late at night when I was studying, then stare intently at the bedroom closet door, like there was something in there. :) > Delilah and Stella often stop what they're doing and look up at the ceiling > ... almost as if the laser pointer light is there or some such > distraction... but nothing.
