I'm afraid to clean my house

I think my cat has discovered Whovilles in the corners. He sits staring intently, ears perked up, into the corners for the longest time. He seems to be fascinated with something there where the dust bunnies and other flotsam congregate.

I think he's watching their parades or something.

living in this home. The German Shepherd is quite stalkishly amused by Her Bunnyness.

Funny Post! as well as a logical reason not to dust.

So if you have a healthy colony of them, you are doing good!

I have named all of mine.

You have a point. But, well, you know how it is. If you forgot about it it must not have been very important. Why go to all that effort if you might not find anything at all?

My sign line says it all.

4. He imagines that doppelganger kittens are incubating in the corners

They are mostly formed of his own shed fur, so they smell like him. He's just waiting for the day they'll come out and bounce around and pester him.

He's a cat. Of course he's crazy. That's the way they make them.

a wild scramble is when I think he's crazy. But when he's sitting quietly exhibiting intense and dignified scrutiny I never thought of it as being crazy. But you may be right.

It's like they tell you about God when incomprehensible things happen, they operate on a higher level beyond our understanding.

That is what usually gets their attention when there seems to be no other reason. Happens to the best of us, especially during winter.

If you hear scratching in the walls, call a pest control company quickly. I heard scratching in my walls and then had electrical problems. Rats had eaten through wires.

10. He doesn't look at the walls

He literally looks right in the corners where the walls and the floor meet. He usually has his nose only 3 or 4 inches away which is why I noticed. And it's not just one corner. He doesn't do anything else, like try to paw at anything. He just stares intently for a long time.
