LOL, tonight I was throwing a ball for Everett. The closet doors in
my bedroom (big floor-to-ceiling sliding doors) are mirrored, and
they really confound him. If the ball lands in front of the mirror,
he stands over it, looking first at the real ball, and then at the
reflection of the ball, not sure which one to bat at. And then he
sees himself. OMG, there's a *cat*! The first time I brought him into
the bedroom, he was quite alarmed, but I think by now he's figured
out that the "other cat" is no threat. But it still stops him for a
second every time he sees himself. And then, there's that other
human! (ie, my reflection.) Yikes, so many things in that room.

lol. i don't have any full-length mirrors, so the cats haven't
experienced that, but when i have the blinds shut and the lights on,
you can see you reflection in the window. caliban is sometimes riveted
in one place, staring at the kitty in the window for ages.


Zak used to fight (for lack of a better word) with the cat in the mirror.
He looked like he was running with his front paws on the mirror like they
were boxing or something. After a while the screeching of his claws on the
glass would get to me and I would say "would you two knock it off!" I did
not want Zak to think I was singling him out!
