What came first ? The sound or the thought

mapuc · 12-05-18, 06:33 PM

As some of you may know, I have a little female cat. She likes to come out.

Ok here's the story

It was about 7 in the evening, my cat wanted to come outside, I let her out.

One hour later I was in my kitchen to get something, while I was there I looked at the windows to see if she was sitting outside, she wasn't.

9 o´clock I was again in the kitchen to get some coffee, looked at the windows no cat.

This worried me a little ´cause she doesn't use to be out so long when it's late autumn or winter.

Maybe she have taken one of her long walk around the town.

Went back to the living room and watch tv and used the internet.

I didn't had a thought about my cat for a long time when I suddenly

came to think on my cat

and at the same time I could hear here outside.

Went into the kitchen and opened the window so she could come in.

While I was carrying her into the living room, I came to think of what just happened and I start wondering.

Was it the sound of my cat, that triggede my brain to get me to think of my cat ?
Or
Was it my suddenly thinking on the cat, that triggede my ears to hear the cat ?

Cats are evil.

She sent you a mind contact to make you feel guilty for not checking on her.

Of course she probably was hiding to start to make the guilt feeling stronger!

Haha, sometimes she give me this evil-look when I enter my kitchen and I see her standing on the windowsill outside

Like she was saying.

I'm mad at you, I have been waiting here for an eternity(maybe she have been waiting for 5 minutes or so)for her it's an eternity.

Our cat has learned to make a squeegee noise on the slider glass with his front paws. It's faint but unmistakable.

My stupid cat just sits at the door hoping someone will open it, eventually I check and he rushes in, not happy because I didn't read his mind!!

This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend while he was visiting. The cat came through and I told him I trained her with regards to feeding times and what not. He laughed and said, " I think you have it backwards. That cat trained you. "

It was easier to just tell him the cat plays " Jedi Mind Tricks " on me.
