I often find my 14-year-old cat looking at himself in the mirror. When my neice moved in a few weeks ago she brought a full length mirror with her and Madmardigan is often found sitting in front of it either looking at himself (he is very handsome) or watching the room behind him. "They" say it's a sign of intelligence in animals to be able to recognize their own reflection. I always knew he was brilliant.

Also, a couple of weeks back my neice and I were sitting in the livingroom chatting. The TV was on some show that she was watching when I got home; not my usual choice at that hour. My cat, Sheldon, was sitting on the couch next to her. All of a sudden I realized the television had changed channels to the show I usually watch...I asked Meghan if she'd changed it and she said no. We looked down, and Sheldon was sitting on the remote - the funny part is that the show he changed it to was Big Bang Theory; one of the lead characters is called Sheldon. Still trying to figure out how he got it from channel 160 to channel 7... :-)
