Ninja cat

If you look, they win.

No, it’s a pigeon.

It’s an imaginary spider so you’ll go looking for it.

And now, neither can you.

A smart cat.

It’s a distraction.

Look, he’s crawling up my wall. Black and hairy, very small. Now he’s up above my head. Hanging by a little thread. Boris the Spider

It was definitely maybe a spider.

Someone doesn’t get out much.

I have a theory that cats are probe droids from another dimension. When they stare at a wall, they are looking at something that once was there or will be there in the future. Purring is telemetry back to the mother ship.

I once got down next to my cat and stared at the wall. My cat looked at me as much as to say, “Get your own wall, biped.”

Smart kitty!

Made you look…

Cat doing cat things

B. Kliban drew “cats see things we can’t” and it has turned out to be true.

sucker… :j

LOL!

He’s only kitten.

Made You Look!

Cats are smart predators. That includes our food.

Ha! Good one!

Of course, there might have been a teeny, tiny spider crawling on the wall…

The fact that you can’t see anything when your cats stares at a wall doesn’t mean there’s nothing there to be seen. Don’t be a human chauvinist..
