Sounds

Today was windy. Very windy. The windows rattled, and what leaves were left on the trees rustled. When the house is quiet, everything is magnified --- every noise is ten-fold; and I catch myself jumping at every little sound.
And I find myself hearing sounds that are not there. It doesn't frighten me, just startles me.
Sounds are funny little things. I can hear sounds that 'D&D' do not hear. When I cock my head to listen, and they see that; they in turn cock their heads to listen. Sometimes I just act like I hear something, just to watch them. They are a constant source of amusement. If I do that enough times, they begin to actually believe they hear something. I just grin my cat grin, laughing to myself (disguised as purring of course), and lay my head back down for a nap. And I do not think they will catch on. I do it to them all the time. Humans can be so gullible.
And sometimes I will rise up from a nap, and stare at the window, or the door. As if something is on the other side waiting to get it. 'D&D' will, in turn, stare at whatever I am staring at - as if some bad boogie man is lurking behind the widow or door. I really chuckle over that!
Hey, I have to keep these humans on their toes, don't I?
