weird(ish) cat question... [View all]
One of our cats came to us through a friend; she belonged to the friends parents, but they're in their 80s now and really can't take care of a cat so we agreed to take her in. She's 10 years old, not very social and hates other cats, so she lives in our converted garage room (by choice, it's a nice room, a/c and heat, etc, kind of a guest room). Anyway, since she stays out there all the time, sometimes I put music on for her, the BBC3 radio station on our AppleTV device, just to keep her company. Here's my weird question: every once in a while she'll come out of her room and look for me, and then sit and look at me. I'll get up and go toward her and she leads me back to her room (you know, she walks a few steps, looks back to make sure I'm following, etc) and we almost always end up in front of the TV in the room where the music comes from. Am I weird in thinking she's asking me to turn on the music? Because she'll lead me to her food bowl if I don't fill it in a timely fashion, so why can't she be asking for BBC3 as well? Am I anthropomorphizing too much?
