I'm So Pretty

Maybe it's not a good thing to tell a pretty cat that's he's pretty. I'm always calling Jack "Gorgeous" and "Beautiful Baby Jack" and everyone he meets also tells him what a beautiful cat he is. I didn't realize it might be going to his head until one morning when I was taking a shower.

The first time Jack caught his own reflection in the mirror his tail fuzzed up and he took off running. I didn't want him to be afraid of his own reflection, so I picked him up and stood in front of the mirror with him in my arms so he'd realize the cat in the mirror was himself.

After that I stepped in the shower. Between a crack in the curtain I saw him jump up on the sink. Out of curiosity, I peeked out to see what he was doing and I couldn't believe my eyes. He was standing on his hind legs, his front paws were braced against the wall, his back was arched and he was admiring himself in the mirror.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing, it was just so hilarious, watching my vain little kitten admiring himself in the mirror. I could even imagine him saying to himself, "They are right. I am beautiful."

I tried to duck out of sight, but he realized I'd been watching him and the next time I peeked out of the shower, he was sitting like a perfect little gentleman on the sink facing the shower and staring at me.

To this day I've never caught him doing that again.
