I went to the bathroom the other day and was greeted with this.



Willow was lounging like this the whole time I was in there, but I didn't see her until until I was getting ready to leave! She was nestled in a corner by the sink, which is to the right of the door as you walk into the room. I was looking straight ahead when I walked in, so I didn't see her.

She was quiet as a mouse, so I didn't realize she was there until I finished "taking care of business" and headed to the sink to wash my hands. When I saw her, I burst out laughing, washed my hands, and then went and got my tablet to take a pic.

Cats are so stealthy and quiet, and they're always watching everything we do, I'm sure Willow has "spied" on me many times, without my being aware of it!

I had one we called Abby, short for abbynormal. She ate through speaker wires like they were kitty snacks.

Fortunately, I've learned how to hide them from her, and she tends to forget about them if they're not right in front of her face.

I should probably share pics more often. I'm such a perfectionist that I'm almost never satisfied with my efforts, but I probably need to get over myself.

Opened my eyes.

Came face to face with our cat. Close up.

Roams the streets like a feral at night.

Then gets tired and comes in, gets tame, snuggles up wherever he wants to.

Sometimes I have to search for him, but not this morning.

His priorities:
Stay close to his feeding dish.
Find somewhere warm and safe to sleep whenever he wants to.
Pretend he loves me - which often coincides with his feeding time - which is strange, yes? (Not really)

But I find they are most quiet when they are doing something they think they are not supposed to be doing.

Cat's know how to be inconspicuous, at all the right times. They have special powers.
