Sirius the cat is acting like a kid again. The last week or two he's suddenly become fascinated by sinks like he was when I first got him. He's very much interested in water coming from the faucet, and positively intrigued by the stopper magically going up and down. He was so eager for the show this morning that as soon as I turned on the light to put in my contact lenses, he immediately sat directly on the spot I normally use to work from and he stared expectantly into the basin. I'm not always a gentle soul, but I don't have the heart to shoo him off the counter when he's not causing any more problem than a minor inconvenience. So I worked around him. Being careful not to drop each contact lens on the floor, I take it out of the case and clean it. Sirius leans forward as the water comes on to rinse. I wonder if some day the water will splatter all over him. but it doesn't today. Both of my contacts are in and Sirius is very ready for the grand finale. The stopper goes up and the water whirls. Sirius leans far in over the sink to inspect the wonder. I quickly close the stopper and the water in the drain makes a loud slurp. Up pops the plug again and Sirius glances at my hand. He knows there is a connection between the handle and the stopper, but he cannot imagine that it is anything but magic. I play with the stopper for a while to amuse him, then walk away. He keeps staring into the sink, but not for long.
