Cats Are Weird, Part 201487238

Hmmm, cheesy dance music, I likes it.
Eda came over last night forsexy study times sexy hotpot times. And then I asked to be educated about Korean music (in preparation for our assault on Seoul), and we spent some time watching videos on YouTube and rolling around on the floor laughing at incredibly faggy Korean boy bands who are BEASTS and ANGSTY and wear HIDEOUS SHADES OF PINK to advertise cell phones.
Before we got to that, though, we witnessed the weirdest behaviour ever from Tabitha. I was showing Eda some pictures I took nearly three years ago, of G's cats and Tabitha, and while I was clicking through the pictures of Tabitha, the furball herself started staring intently at the screen. Her tail puffed up larger than I'd ever seen it go, but she kept it down, nearly between her legs as she crept toward the computer, one slow step at a time, her eyes fixed on the screen, totally ignoring our comments about how strangely she was acting, until she was half up on the computer desk. I was almost afraid she was going to attack the screen. It was so weird!
Did she recognise herself? Was she having some sort of existential crisis, thinking I'd captured a piece of her soul? I'd never seen a cat act like that. I've seen cats react to movement on a screen, such as birds or fish or squirrels, but never to still images. Even weirder, there were plenty of close up shots of her eyes or face, so it wasn't as though she was simply identifying a cat-like shape. Once I switched to pictures of the other cats, though, she completely lost interest and wandered off. o_O
I asked her about it today, but she just blinked slowly and looked away, purring. <3
