Considering I rarely need to sleep now, aside from reading, I have been watching considerably more Netflix than I used to. I was never a big tv watcher, but when I finish a book and don't have another one to start there are only so many things I can do when Will and Tessa are asleep. Tonight I watched this interesting little documentary about cats called The Lion in Your Living Room. It was all about how cats have evolved into the domesticated cats we have as pets. The thing that amused me tonight was that Church joined me. Church rarely wants anything to do with other cats, but tonight he was sitting on the couch with me, watching it. Perhaps he simply missed me while I was in New York earlier this month and wanted some attention.

	Animals can be incredible sensitive creatures. I would imagine he did miss you whole you were away. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Cats are very interesting creatures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed they are. Have you had him since he was a kitten? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-27 01:36 am UTC (link)
	I have. About four years now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How lovely. I admit I've considered a pet recently but my boyfriend and I do travel quite a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You definitely want to make sure you have enough time to devote to a pet, if you're going to get one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is why I have been holding off. It isn't fair to be leaving him or her all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-28 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	If you do decide to get one, I would suggest adopting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. I never really understand why people don't do that, there are so many animals who need loving homes. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Cats are delightful creatures. I remember a time before they were domesticated. But that's mostly because of the dreams. I haven't seen this documentary before, though, so perhaps I will look into it. Anything with cats. Muffin doesn't mind people so much. It's people she's less impressed with.

	It was an interesting watch. Church mostly only shows me any affection. He'll sit with my girlfriend every now and then, but isn't too impressed by my boyfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cats are like people when it comes to personalities. It's what I enjoy about them. How long have you had Church? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-25 12:11 am UTC (link)
	About four years. Since he was a kitten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theeyeofra 2016-11-25 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	It is always nice to get them when they are little. Muffin sort of happened upon me and never left. We even know each other in the dreams, which makes it just that much more interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I also had Church in my dreams. I found him after he'd been experimented on by witches. Somehow they had made him immortal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theeyeofra 2016-11-27 01:41 am UTC (link)
	That's definitely something. We have Magicians, but I don't believe any of them have made a cat immortal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-27 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Magicians? How interesting. We have warlocks in my dream world. I don't think they had intended to do it. I'm fairly certain they were simply using him as a test subject. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theeyeofra 2016-11-27 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I don't think any of them would wish to make anyone or anything live longer than they wanted. They also wouldn't want to experiment on cats. ~~Probably because I would have made sure they regretted it~~ I wouldn't have let them. Is he well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-27 02:05 am UTC (link)
	He is. Both in the dreams and out. In the dreams he was taken by a friend. Here, I'm fairly certain he's just a regular cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theeyeofra 2016-11-27 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	That's good to hear. I'm glad he had someone to look after him. I'm sure he's wonderful either way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-27 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	He is a little more moody in the dreams, but he's a good cat regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theeyeofra 2016-11-28 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Well, when you've been experimented on by witches, you're bound to be moody. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-28 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	That's very true. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	abigail_hobbs 2016-11-24 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Cats are wonderful. I'm going to look for that documentary. Did you give Church some extra attention? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-24 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	You should. It was good. I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abigail_hobbs 2016-11-24 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Awww. I bet he appreciated it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mizpah 2016-11-25 12:14 am UTC (link)
	I hope that he did. (Reply to this) (Parent)
