There's a new cat in the house. Sorta of. It lives in the lowest window in the house and copies everything that Earnie does, managing to predict each and every one of his moves and blocking his passage into the other bedroom.

Meowmoirs: there's a name for cats that copy everything. It's... mimikitty. Yes.

Read about Earnie's discovery of the mirror cat and the codependent and complicated relationship between the two of them. Earnie is highly confused but also very persistent.

    Text - CHEEZ BURGER Entry 6: The Mirror Cat November 20, 2020 Today, I realized another cat lives in this house. He lives in the only window in the house that does not point to the outside. It took me a long time to notice that it lives here because he seems to always be quiet. He never eats, he never drinks, he never asks the humans for special nuggets or cuddles.

I jumped back, fur puffed, looking large and intimidating lifted my almighty paw and stared it down. My instant and perfect reaction must have taken him off quard because when I looked back at him, he was doing the exact same thing as I was, lifting its inferior paw. He was slightly scary, but I stood firm, slowly walking back and away until I couldn't see him again. He didn'

    Text - CANHAS I hissed at him, demanding to knowHEEZ who he is, and incredibly, he did theRGER same thing. Then, I asked what his purpose here was and the reason for which he was encroaching on my territory, but he asked me the same at the same time.

    Text - I must say, his glare is not nearly as CHEEZ effective as mine. Clearly, this was my main weapon against him It made CE him docile, and, understanding that he was finally beginning to admit defeat, I was able to take a breath. Out of curiosity, I smacked him with my paw again, just in case, but his instincts stayed just as sharp, and he blocked that attack as well. Slowly, I began studying him to see just how big of a threat he was to my household. He seemed to have habits similar to mine

    Text - Their training is going quite well, I must CHEEZ I have to apply that training to the BURGER say. new cat too. The problem is that they seem to not even see the other cat, not reaction to it with the same level of spook that I experienced. Their lack of suspicion of the cat only increased my concern. He must be more evasive than I realized for the humans to not see it at all. But since someone must protect them, that left me no option other than to constantly keep an eye on him. He's real
