Sometimes I get the feeling these animals know something i don’t. We have had a dog and a cat for the majority of our 10 years of marriage, but last fall we stumbled into the clutches of a stray cat. Initially we were trying to find a good home for her, but after $350 in vet bills (and no one wanting to take her) she’s ours. This totally changes the pet dynamics here.
Right now for instance, I heard a strange noise in the kitchen. I expect to find one of the cats into something, but instead find Morissa (our original) sitting there in the middle of the floor. I leave, only to become aware of the coming and goings of animals in and out of the room, jittery looks, and the sense that something is going on in the house that I, and only I, am not aware of.
I hope its a bug that made its way to an untimely death at the hands of feline claws (a benefit of having cats, they’re great exterminators.) Otherwise, whatever their into they have gotten away with.
They’ve covered, or devoured the evidence well.
UPDATE: There’s a fly in my house.
Sometimes they do know something you don’t, just because of their acute senses (like the fly you might not have noticed). Other times I think it’s just instinct, and they don’t really know, though they act.

I think it’s a conspiracy.

(Don’t let the cats know that you know.) :nervous:
