Default Might As Well Talk To The Wall

I just got done reading Marina's story about Nikki (RIP, precious
girl) talking to walls (thanks to Flippy). Does anybody know why
(save for the mothership thing) furkids do that? My little Princess
Meena talks to the kitchen wall on Sundays only (we're usually doing
the crossword puzzle at the kitchen table). Sometimes she chats with
the living room wall, but mostly the kitchen one. We can't help but
laugh. I think *she* thinks **we're** nuts!

I think it's the same reaction they have when seeing birds or squirrels
outside. They're probably hearing something in your walls, a bug or even
just the insulation settling. Their hearing is phenomenal and they're
probably just focusing on something they've heard that we can't - which is
still creepy to watch (I always ask mine, "Are you seeing a ghost?" when
they do that).

Hugs,
