This cat......

(in the realm of a vivid imagination) could be considered a fair to middlin' watch- cat. If I've said anything to the contrary -- I stand corrected. You just have to learn what signs to look for.

For instance....when she darts through the house as if she's on fire either she's just dumped a load in her kitty litter box, or she's been gazing through a door or window and she's spotted someone in the general vacinity of the house.

So when I see her zipping through the house and I don't smell anything, I take a gander outside to see what might be going on. There may be someone at the door, in the yard, on the sidewalk, in the road, in the cul-de-sac, across the street.

It's all in knowing the body language.
