Sophy the Movie Buff
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Sophy is the younger of our two cats, having just turned 1. She is a very pingly, long-legged, short-haired tortie who loves to sit on the bean slab in the living room where she has a good view of the TV. She sometimes likes watching it up side down.
This morning she has just exhibited some more than usually cute, and unusual behaviour that seems to further confirm her love of movies and TV shows. We have a sort of DVD shelving nook in one corner of the room, with an arm chair in front of it, and she bounded up on the back of the chair mewing and then stood up on her hind legs with her front paws resting on the shelves before starting to peruse the DVDs’ spines; chirping as she did so. This went on for about 3 minutes until she decided that I obviously wasn’t getting the message. She has now settled down on the arm of the chair, possibly waiting for a more intelligent human to come along and get down the movie that she wants to watch, which given where she was snuffling with her nose seems to be ‘Annie Hall’.
Not that I can blame her; she probably wants to watch it for the Lobsters.
