My cat has finally seen the Kitty in the Mirror. I'm working from home today, waiting for a tech to come by and work on my network, and pottered around cleaning off the countertop/breakfast bar between the kitchen and the rest of the place.

After I do that, while I'm sitting here at the computer, the cat jumps onto the counter to investigate things, then freezes, staring intently through the bathroom door. I finally realize she's seeing herself in the mirror and recognizes the silhouette as another cat. She jumps down, and sliiiinks towards the bathroom, tail puffed up huge, and sniffs around in there, finding nothing, of course.

Now she's wandering around the place, jumping at every unexpected noise, sniffing things, and generally going "There's a cat here! I saw it! I can't smell it but I KNOW it's here!"

Heee. My betta fish does the same thing - half an hour after I take away the mirror I occasionally prop up to his tank, he's still zooming around all puffed up like "Dude, I know that guy's around here somewhere!"

While I was chasing down my meds in Stockholm, I sat across from a lady with a cat on a leash on the T-ban (subway). The cat was very blase about train travel (his person said she takes him to work via the T-ban every day) but every so often, while looking out the window at the passing scenery, he seemed to catch sight of his reflection and give it a dirty look, but with an air of resignation. There's that idiot who always puts his big, fat head in my way when I'm lookin' out the window!
