It was only a matter of time, I suppose, until one of the cats detected the Stereo Greeblings. We were playing a rousing game of "chase the fishing pole toy" last night. Captain mistimed his jump and ran into the stereo, hitting the "on" button for the CD changer. It promptly lit up in yellow and red, and whirred to life with its quiet little motors as it performed a self-check to determine how many CDs were loaded in it.

Captain jumped back about a foot, standing broadside (but not fluffed up) and staring at the stereo with an "Aaah! What the heck is THAT?" expression.

I couldn't help laughing. :o)

I wonder what their reaction will be when actual MUSIC emanates from the stereo.
