Bandit

So many times I've seen him fight himself in the mirror,
wondering why his adversary moves like him,
and looks exactly just like him!
Don't ask me; sometimes he twitches his whiskers,
wondering why I don't chase away the intruder,
instead laughing at the situation.
This is one of my favorite moments with Bandit;
he sits right at the right corner of the sofa,
his favorite spot, and watch the TV!
Motion pictures to him seem like another world;
a really mixed up world which leave him in utter shock!
The other cat in the mirror becomes a forgotten story....

Enjoyed this little read, Teddy...I, and a lot of other people I should imagine, really do understand where you are coming from with this one; dogs are far less interested in the T.V than cats...I often wonder why. Perhaps cats are just so much more inquisitive? Whatever it is they certainly do seem to enjoy watching it -- just like a dog staring out when sat in a moving car! My best regards to you, Teddy - cheers! :) john

You are right! Cats are much more inquisitive than dogs! The simile "As curious as a cat" really applies. Once I had a cat that watched late night movies with me, lolest. Thank you so much John, for your kind applause, and enjoying my work!! :)
