The cats are being weird. I suppose I should say they are being weirder than usual, because they are always weird. They keep lurking around in the dark corners of the house together, as if they are plotting and scheming something in their little walnut-sized brains. Though they still like to sleep together and eat together, they don’t tend to spend a lot of their awake time together doing anything, let alone lurking around in dark corners. It would be considered strange behavior for them to be spending this much time together doing, apparently, nothing at all but sitting and staring at things.

An hour ago I discovered them sitting at the end of the dark hall, side by side, staring at the door to the Box Room. Just sitting there in the dark, staring at a closed door. Currently they are sitting on the kitchen table, also in the dark, staring at each other. I believe they may be having some sort of telepathic conversation.

They also keep looking around door frames at us. It makes me think they are just waiting for us to go to bed … so they can get up to whatever evil cat plan it is they have been putting together all evening.

Oh, look. Now they are both sitting in the kitchen door, side by side and as adorable as they can be, staring at me. This can’t be good. We better sleep lightly tonight to be prepared for whatever ruckus is almost sure to come later.
