Default Everett is confused about mirrors

All three of my cats are confused by mirrors. Piglet being so cross eyed,
is four and still gets distressed by them. I had to take down the one on
the back of the bedroom door because it caused her so much stress. That was
ok by me, since that old lady moved into my house that only shows up when I
pass a mirror, I don't much care for them myself!

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.
