Modes of following
Betty seems to have two modes of following me around the house: Eager
and Discreet. When she's in an Eager following mood, she'll precede me everywhere I go, trying to anticipate which direction I'll head, and keeping a few feet ahead. She trots along in front of me, her head and tail held high, seeming able to sense my walking pace. When she does this for a while, I feel like everywhere I go, there's a little butthole in front of me. When she's in her Discreet following mode, she'll stay behind me and pretend that she's not really tailing me. I'll look behind me, and Betty will be washing herself, or sitting there looking innocent. I'll walk to a different room, look back, and there she is again, washing herself or sitting innocently. Another room, look back, and there she is again! It's like she just teleports from place to place. If this were a spy movie, she would be wearing a trenchcoat and reading a newspaper with a peephole cut in it. |
