“Help Mrs. Human, hiss hiss, meowow.”
“What is the problem Tabby, why so much noise.”
“Take it away Mrs. Human, I am being attacked. There is a ferocious intruder in my territory looking at me whilst I am sleeping. I am doomed, I must kill it before I am killed.”
“Nonsense Tabby, it is your reflection in the mirror.”
“What is mirror, I do not like mirror, it is an invasion of the third kind. It must die, kill it.”
“I will remove it, look. Tabby where are you going. There is no need to leap in the air and disappear beneath a chair.”
“It is hiding somewhere, I am sure. Nothing more is safe in this human world.”
“But it is only a mirror. I was trying for a photo for your daily paw. It has to do with juxtaposition.”
“I do not like juxtaposition if it means an invasion into my territory. Perhaps it is good that these daily feline prompts are coming to an end. Then life can go back to normal where I sit and sleep, or pose for the camera and all my followers in pawbook clap and make meows. These words are dangerous, they are moving in on my territory. Kill that mirror thing, it will absorb us all.”
“But Tabby”
“No buts, juxtapositions are a dangerous thing.”
As a mere human I would say never show the cat that owns you a reflection in a mirror. They do not understand what they are seeing and Tabby is still recovering from her shock. She is now outside.
My much loved oggy suffers from the same nightmare! lol Great pic!

You mean there are more of this invading tribe in our feline world. We must united and form a fighting force.

Best healing wishes, Tabby! Lucy totally ignores her reflection in the mirror, although as kittens, both she and Jules did wonder about the other cats. Perhaps its her great age, as well as the fact she is more interested in getting a drink from the sink at that time.

Mrs. Human says it is me, but she is wrong. It is a rival wanting to take over. I saw that she put my enemy in a cupboard and closed the door. I hope it stays shut.

Mrs Human is correct on this one, Tabby. We can learn from each other, no matter the species.

And so often we do. And VERY occasionally, a cat may learn from a human.

Hopefully a bowl of Tuna will be waiting for you when you have recovered from the shock and eventually come back inside..x😻🐾🐾

I decided to remain outside where it is safe. If tuna arrives I will again enter to make sure this imposter does not steal any.

But they were exactly like my whiskers, I have a copy cat in my territory.

Dear Tabby — My former canine, Lily T. Wolf, looked in my full length mirror the day we moved into the house and saw a Siberian Husky. Then she walked around behind the door where the mirror was hanging to find that nice dog to play with. Another canine/feline difference, I guess. Yr Pal, Martha

They hide behind doors? My copy cat was hiding behind my chair. You just cannot trust these mirror animals. Play does not exist in meow, just fight, hiss and scratch.

Porsche has never shown any concern regarding mirrors (until surgery and he had to wear a cone ) which seems to have destroyed his self image. It was amazing to witness and I felt terrible, but it had to be so he didn’t disturb the injury. The other cats (one made fun of him constantly) the other was afraid of him. I guess in kitty land that cone sent quite the message!

Wear a cone? One of those instruments invented by the vet. I am sure the vet was behind my problem today. He wants to infiltrate my world with another Tabby. This Tabby even had the same Macdonalds “M” on the forehead. I hope word about this invader in my territory does not get around to the other cats in the neighbourhood, otherwise I will also become a joke.

omg maybe they are relatives?! Didn’t know they put cones on cats, just dogs, to keep them from scratching. $400.00 later! he’s ok, but dang! They make them see through now, they don’t look as much like lampshades any more, haha

I think they put them on all animals so that they do not scratch. Tabby has never had one up to now

they probably do, but they sure make the cat feel less than I must say

These days, for an entirely different reason, I have the same reaction to mirrors! I should go hide outside.

I forget they are there, they are for the others. Tabby is not happy with mirrors.
