It's like we're psychically linked or something.

on edit: Substitute PS2 for Xbox and cat for cats. ;)

10. Indeed they do
it's actually more of a snub than a dirty look. they turn their backs on you and make a point of letting you know they're NOT looking at you.

11. My day, too, Dookus - and the feline dirty looks
can also include turing of the backs, hiking of the back leg, and licking of the cat ass............ that's when they're REALLY pissed.
