Annie didn\u2019t seem to know at first that it was actually made of cement.<\/p>\n<p>I recall once wearing a t-shirt with a large screen-print cat face on it. I\u2019d been wearing it all day, when suddenly Katy (our Himalayan) made eye contact with the cat on my shirt. I was stunned, but not as much as she was when she seemed to realize the Mama had a big cat sitting on her. She moved forward slowly as if she was stalking the intruder. Within a few moments she broke contact and <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bird-of-paradise-007-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bird-of-paradise-007-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bird-of-paradise-007-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bird-of-paradise-007-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bird-of-paradise-007.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>went on about her business. But that was a weird moment for me and probably for Katy.<\/p>\n<p>Just yesterday I saw Lily do a double-take at a calendar here in my office. It has two kittens sitting in large lace-up boots. Very cute. Well, it appeared that for a split second Lily thought two kittens were coming through the wall.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll never forget the moment depicted here where Lily introduced herself to the ceramic cat-shaped toilet bowl brush holder. Her stance appears to be confrontational. But I can tell you the ceramic cat still lives in my bathroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got this shot of Annie-kitten (from next door) with a life-size replica of a dog.
