Lights are no very good
October 07, 2007 - 9:35 am

I went into the bedroom, turned on the light and Loca was sitting there staring up at me. I didn't see what I was looking for so I turned off the light and in the dimness I could see she was still staring at me, at my hand. So, for no reason at all, I flicked the light up and down a few times.. and then I notices she was more crouched ready to jump and her tail was giving this little twitch -- a sure sign she's about to pounce on something.

A thought came to me... lately, when leaving/entering the kitchen and she's on the counter.. she'll 'attack' my hand when I turn on/off the lights...

I flick the bedroom light a few more times and sure enough.. she jumped at my hand -- the highest jump I've seen her make. The switch is a good 6ish inches higher than a door handle. No world record, but the highest I've seen her do.

She doesn't like the lights going on and off... just sort of fascinates me.

Thinking about, and no news to pet owners I'm sure, but we must seem like gods. We make water and light and food.. appear and disappear at our will. Do things they can't even begin to fathom. We speak to them in riddles.

Perhaps god, if there is a good, is no more a god than we are... just far more 'advanced' (perhaps complex is better?) being.
