I have my curmudgeon Bobcat, my 16 year old Manx medium hair orange-tabby. She is mostly deaf and has always been rather vocal. I also tend to teach a lot online. I use a headset to call into the conference. So Bobcat sees my mouth move and figures I'm talking to her when I'm actually educating my students. So while I educate my students, Bobcat tells me of the trails and adventures of her day of sleeping.
When done, she hops in the smallest cardboard box (one of the single book boxes I get from Amazon) and sits there all regal. She then continues the conversation. Who knew that a cat that eats 3-6 times a day and sleeps the rest of the time has such a busy day?
