I am used to it by now. Quietly, on pussycat paws they sneak up on me and are suddenly there…watching me!
What is this dark presence…?
Oh! Never mind! It’s just Andy!
Post 740: being watched…

Andy and I miss Dougy
I hear you loud and clear! Was sick since Friday and was not to work yesterday, so my two had to put in extra-time to guard my every move. Mostly it was my tom beleaguering me. He keeps coming up and snuggles next to my big ass, happily sleeping.
How do you tell your two apart? Or is it just in the photo that Dougy and Andy seem like identical twins?
Andy and Dougy are siblings from the same litter. Dougy has a broader Persian cat face. His eyes are orange. He’s heavier looking (and in fact) than Andy. Andy is more slender with a smaller face and yellow eyes. His tail is longer and his hair lays down better than Dougy’s because Andy doesn’t have as heavy an undercoat as his brother. They also behave differently. Dougy is more gregarious and Andy is a bit timid, though both are pleasant kitties. It’s easy telling them apart if you are around both at the same time or just are familiar with the two. They actually look a lot different than each other once you know what to look for!
Well, to be fair – sometimes when I had two black and white kitties, one male, one female, and I could only see a very small part of the body I wondered which of the two it could be. Took me some time to find a difference when you just see a leg or part of the body.
I generally pick them out by behavior first unless they are facing me. The difference in eyes and head shapes is great enough that they are unmistakable.
Be careful if they sneak up on you and perform the Vulcan Cat Mind Meld. You will start thinking like them! Their thoughts to your thoughts…
I think it’s happened all ready!
Now that is sweet.
Actually, it is!
hehe…nothing like eyes burning a hole in you. As long as they see what you’re doing they are fine and all is the same. Any changes on the home front are met with disapproving stares….Shoko just hates any change. Imagine your two are the same.
(((Shoko)))
That they are. If anything changes, both are there examining the scene of the change. If they are upset, they hold their tails upright and shake them. Of course, if the change can be claimed as their territory, they make moves to add it then.
Such a cutie 🙂 Make sure you boys visit us for a giveaway.
OK!
You are being watched!!!
All the time! In fact, Andy’s sitting at me feet right now watching me. I guess he forgot he still needs his medicine…!
They just love sneaking up on you and staring. The worst is when they stare over your shoulder. Makes me look every time. 🙂
Ha! Ha! Me, too! At least I don’t let out a scream or something when it happens, but it does catch me off guard lots of times.
See! I read this and had to look up from my computer. Without realizing it, there’s one in the windowsill, two on my side table, one in the chair in the corner, and I never heard them come in! 😉
I’m being watched by Dougy just now. Andy must be on break…!
Ahh they work shifts. Very efficient. 🙂
“Sneaky”!
Cute little fellow… It’s nice that your body guards are so vigilant.
Andy is, anyway. Dougy’s slipped off to the little den he’s made in the carrier by the recliner, and is taking a siesta.
How do you not feel like snooze with sleeping cats all about?
Actually, sometimes that’s exactly what happens to me! Monday, I must have slept most of the day sitting in a chair trying to do other things but falling asleep.
I was like that all morning here. Until it warmed up.
🙂
I am glad to see you are posting hope all is well in gadget world
Well enough, Sheldon. I still haven’t worked out the problem of my all-in-one machine not accepting communication by WiFi, but that’s a low priority at this point since I rarely use it.
LOL. So typical. 🙂
And how!
The eyes of Andy are upon you…..
He sleeps on a drsser by my bed at night, and I am constantly in his view…if he chooses! (Dougy takes over during the day and spends a lot of time watching me from the ottoman he claims as Dougylandia!)
