I can NOT figure out how Millie does this.
Her aquarium is here in our breakfast room, right by the table so we can see her easily and often.
She has been basking for a good while as I sit nearby on my computer. She was SOUND asleep with her neck stretched out, eyes closed, letting her chin rest on a rock as if it was a pillow.? It was just SOOOO stinkin’ cute I had to get a picture. I had my phone next to me, and I PROMISE you, I made absolutely NO detectable noise picking up my phone and turning it towards her - but she opened her eyes, picked up her head and looked straight at me! So, NO adorable nap photo.
I slowly, silently leaned back into my chair and turned away from her, all the while moving in s-l-o-w-m-o-t-I-o-n...
She turned her face away, set her chin down and closed her eyes again...
Ever so slowly, silent as a tomb, I gently pick up my phone, moving only my arm...turn the phone slowly towards her and...AGAIN HER EYES POP OPEN AND SHE LIFTS HER HEAD, looking STRAIGHT at me!!!
We must have done this 4-5 times before I gave up!!! (And of course, she’s still napping adorably on her rock!)
Each time, her eyes were SHUT, she was NOT facing me directly, and I made NO SOUND WHATSOEVER!!!
All I can figure is she must be psychic!!!
Anybody else have this problem?
