the catiquette of ‘things that shouldn’t be there’

The way a cat enters a room and sees, on the floor, on the far side of said room, a bit of crumpled paper That Isn’t Supposed To Be There. The cat freezes. Stares. Eyes super wide and their expression as if That Is For Sure An Intruding Tiny Dragon Over There And Who Let THAT In?? She walks slowly, carefully, toward it. Brave. Extends a paw. (Brave but still careful.) Immediately determines it’s a bit of crumpled paper and just like that walks away. Turns her back on crumpled paper. Washes face in sunbeam. Somehow still cloaked in dignity.

so why doesn’t it doesn’t work for me?

I’m convinced cats have powers of the Samantha Stevens kind.  How else to explain things that just ‘happen’ as a result of little more than a glance…

Judge for yourself:

Example A—

Cat sits on table. 

 Stares at bowl on floor.

A slight nose twitch.

Bowl ends up on table.

~

Example B—
Cat stares at hand on other side of room.

Hand appears exacty where it’s meant to.

~

Example C—

Cat stares at door until door opens.
… and we all know it will.
