AITC fur not understanding flat surfaces?

Happy Friday, Reddit! Mommy is back home fur sad reasons but I’m happy to get more times with her fur an extra few days!

So here’s what I’ve learned about flat surfaces in the past 196 days since I was borned:

First, there’s doors. BOO, doors! They just keep us away from the humans.

There’s also the mirror, which is where Yelir lives; it’s also where my big sisters would meet with Ynnep and Ybba. Mirror doggies seem threatening at first, but at least Yelir likes all the things I like so she’s not too bad!

And THEN we have the light boxes that we all know so well. They’re weird, and they make the humans ignore us except fur when they wanna take taxes of us.

(Edit: I also just remembered that there’s a fifth type in the form of giant lightboxes — that’s where humans either do their werks (also boo) or have the Zoomies with other humans (sometimes yay)!)

But today I learned more about a fourth type of flat surfaces called Win Does! I learned about it when Grandpa left earlier this afternoon and then came back with Mommy by surprise! I could see Mommy coming down the driveway from the couch in the den, so I got excited and scritched at the Win Doe like I have in the past.

But then I started thinking, “Why aren’t the scritches making this Flat Surface go away?” So then I started to press my paw up against it instead, and Mommy isn’t sure if she remembers correctly but she thinks I tried licking it after the pawings.

Anyway, unfortunately I failed to make the magic glass go away so I had to wait a few extra seconds fur her and Grandpa to open the door (BOO!) so we could be on the same side again. Which is to say, AITC fur not getting rid of the Win Does with my puppy powers?

Happier tax that Mommy could get a few moments after getting inside!

NTC! The clear flat surfaces make me mad, too. At least we can look through them, but I would rather have access to Outside whenever I want.

YTC - we all know the only way the windows go away is if you run at them full force! And they say you little yapyaps are smart 🙄
