Well, this afternoon I was in the kitchen cleaning up some stuff. As usual, Jazz was in there with me. He usually sits on his little chair, with the tip of his tail just curling a bit so it doesn't touch the floor, and waits there quietly until I finish what I'm doing. Then we go off to another room.

Today, though, he didn't go near the chair at all! He spent the entire time sitting IN FRONT of the kitchen door (which opens up into the garage) staring straight up at the ceiling. He didn't move his head the entire time, but his ears were standing straight up like he was listening to something. He wasn't scanning the ceiling either which happens when he sees some creepy, crawly up there.

I waited a while before I said anything to see how long he would stay like that. I don't know exactly how long it took for me to finish my chores but Jazz just stayed in the same position the entire time. I didn't want to say anything, just in case he was getting some really important instructions from the Mothership.

Hey, X-FILES Season 9 starts tonight, so maybe the Mothership was telling him about the show. Let's see how he reacts when we crank up the sound and the X-FILES theme comes on.
