I ask because, well, I wonder about myself sometimes. Truth be told, it is just a female kitten with an E collar on so she will quit rubbing the fur off of her chin.
But try coming home to find her sitting in the corner a-la The Blair Witch Project. She doesn’t move or even react to you or any noise you make. shudder…
Now I know, it’s not her fault. It’s my problem, really. Hell, I was weirded out by Holly Hobby in the 70’s. Remember her? She didn’t have a face!!! Well, some would argue with me that she did, indeed have a face, but for years all we saw was her sideways pose, no face just all Little-House-On-The-Prairie haberdashery. She gave me the willies.
Before her was the Casual Observer. This was another faceless little girl who always seemed to quietly watch life from the sidelines – never speaking – just WATCHING! I had nightmares about that thing for years.
Anyway, I’ve taken the collar off for the night. I don’t want to get up in the dark to get a drink (of water…duh) and find her in the basement corner, luring me to some horrifying, scary ending.
That would totally suck.
