Blink!

Those familiar with the British television program, Doctor Who, might recognize the title. If you are a fan and have watched the series, especially when David Tennant was Doctor Who, you will remember that this show featured stone angels who looked fine when you watched them but turned into evil beings who crept up upon you and killed you when you didn't watch them. So when you were in their presence, you had to look at them all the time and not even blink. These angels were also revisited in the current series with Matt Smith as Doctor Who.

My cats have developed these same sneaky feature, except the killing part, thank goodness. If I am watching them, they will sit across the room and gaze at me. Once I glance away or blink, they are closer the next time I look until finally, they are at my feet or about to get into my lap. It is amazing how fast they move and how silently they move and how close they can creep up to me without me noticing that they have done it. Since seeing the Doctor Who show with this feature, I always think about these angels whenever the cats are creeping. Don't Blink!!!
