Talking to an object

I had to laugh at 'D' the other day. He was watching television; and whatever was on, inclined him to talk to the television. It was rather amusing, watching 'D' talk to an object that doesn't understand what he is saying, let alone answer him.

No wonder they call it the idiot box.

Cats and Clothing

A while back, 'D' was watching television, he started saying things like "Awwww how sweet" or "Isn't that cute." Of course, being a curious kitty, I looked to see what the fuss was about.

On the television were cats. Cats wearing clothes. Can you believe that??? Cats wearing clothing?
I could not believe my beautiful eyes! I even made that 'ha' sound one makes when they are having trouble believing what they are seeing. Of course 'D' thought I was meowing, and said something ridiculous like "oh, you think it's cute too."

Oh did I shoot him a look!

I would NEVER wear clothing! Ummm that's why they call it fur!

I have nothing against cats who wearing clothing. (A note to myself: Would this be considered cross-dressing?). It really isn't that cats doing. Humans put the clothes on the cats. It's all fine and well I guess - but I really don't understand it.

Of course I don't understand humans wearing dead animal pelts either - but that's a whole different blog.

Anyway - to each his or her own.

I just thought it was .... interesting.

I guess I am coming out of my shell and seeing more of this world.

Television

Humans watch a lot of television. I suppose it is entertainment, but to me it's just a bunch of annoying sounds (unless, of course, the television is tuned to Animal Planet). The humans in my house, sit in front of the TV, and drink their coffee, tea, soda, etc., and have a snack or two - and watch that tube of sound and pictures. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they become angry, sometimes they become sad, and sometimes they simply sit there and 'click' through the channels, hoping something will catch their eyes. Well, I prefer to sit at the window and watch the world progress outside. Sometimes I will do my cat grin when I see something amusing like the squirrels dancing on the electric lines and slip. Sometimes I will be a little sad when I see a lone stray cat wonder down the alley, and I wonder if he or she is hungry and scared. Sometimes I become angry when I see a human throwing litter onto the ground, rather than into the trash bin. And sometimes my eyes just dart here and there, looking for anything of interest. Well ..... I guess the window is my television. The only difference is that I cannot turn my off.
