My cat has taken to watching shadows as opposed to looking at the birds out of the window right behind him. When he does this, I often think of Plato and the "cave allegory" in his Republic. To the cat, it seems the mere shadow of a bird, is still a bird.

Great post. 'Tis true- shadows do appear to be the real thing to some animals. Awesome picture, too.
Cute picture and neat post - love the comparison to Plato's cave!
Shadows + light = life. Perception's all there really is anyway ;-) Cute kitty.

Lovely picture and so true! Makes me think of lesson #2 from A Course in Miracles: "I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me."
Awesome photo!
This cat would look great beaded like Faz!
