--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps that is where they go when we don’t remember them, carried away by our pets
Paradise Tennant: I wonder what your cat dreams about - likely you :) cuddling with daddy !
Hana Furlough: : )
stevenaia Michinaga: I remember seeing movies about cats dreaming while sleepwalking... I think they dream of catching mice

Hana Furlough: yeah, I think that is what my cat usually dreams about
Hana Furlough: because her whiskers move a lot
Paradise Tennant: sometime when Blue is sleeping only his inner eyelid closes and he looks like a devil dog with blood red eyes :)
Paradise Tennant: spooky
Paradise Tennant: I wake him up :)
stevenaia Michinaga: wonders about their perception of reality or if they really even care
stevenaia Michinaga: except abut mice and food
stevenaia Michinaga: and sleep
Paradise Tennant: I suspect they are intensely interested
Paradise Tennant: incredibly curious
Hana Furlough: I bet their wondering about our perception of reality

Paradise Tennant: my Blue dreams of the beach - of me throwing rocks and the wild heart pumping excitement
stevenaia Michinaga: Fubu arrives from the great outdoors, bye Hana
Paradise Tennant: of chasing them and biting and barking at the splash -  then whirling around in the opposite direction and going all out to catch the next splash - 40 yards away - a dance of shimmery water sunshine, wet fur, and muscle - not to mention a great deal of barking
Paradise Tennant: it is his favourite thing in the world I am sure he dreams of it
