Staring Out the Window

What is it with cats and windows? Honestly, there can't be that much cool shit going on outside. If there were, I wouldn't have bought a TV. But still, like an idiot with amnesia, they fool me every time. "Ohhhh, the cat's at the window, there must be something really sweet going on outside, I better go look." But no, cat, you're staring at nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it fascinates you.
And you know what the real burn is here? Even if I wanted to sit at the window and stare out it all day like a cat, there's no way I could conveniently perch myself on the window sill like they do. I'm not that small and my windows aren't that big. Well, I'm glad that windows are such a perfect fit for you cats. I'm not jealous. Not even a little bit.

  1. Cats eyes are 5-6 times better than humans. Maybe there is a bug you can't see. Maybe the cat is wishing something would appearout of boredom.

  2. It's probably a combination of the two. But I still think part of it is just an elaborate game to trick us into getting up and looking out the window. The only thing stronger than their eye sight is his cleverness and mischeviousness.

  3. They just want to go outside and we won't let them. That's why they like the window sills so much. They are probably jealous that you can go outside. Just saying.

    Have a terrific day. :)

  4. Sometimes my cats really freak me out with their window gazing intensity. All the worse when the dog joins them.

  5. Sandee, they probably are just jealous, but I agree with Maria, regardless of why they do it, it's a bit freaky.

  6. Actually they are controlling your neighbours minds. Making them do anything they desire in there conquest of the world. And you just think they sit there in all innocence. How many cats are in your street and when will it be your turn?
