Who Is That?

I'm not sure what this is? Is it a difference in species, cats vs. dogs? Is it a boy vs. girl thing? Or possibly it's more about Piper's young age? Perhaps, it's simply a Piper-thing?

When Brad comes home from tennis wearing sunshades and a hat she gets scared out of her wits! She sees him walk in and she vacates the room in the blink of an eye. She has no clue who that man is that walks in with the hat and shades on. Nor does she care to stick around to find out. Meanwhile the boys gather around him as usual when he first arrives home from somewhere. They don't care what he walks in looking like. They always recognize him. But she seems like she doesn't even recognize him. Once he leaves the room to go clean up, she ventures out from the closet in the spare bathroom. She ever so slowly and cautiously looks about for that strange dude she saw come in the door a few minutes prior.

It's a rather bizarre scene to watch unfold. Cats have a good sense of smell similar to dogs. Maybe not quite as acute as dog's but still they have great senses. You would think she could easily sense it's her daddy? Maybe she does sense it's him but just doesn't approve of the sunglasses and hat. Perhaps, she's the most fashion savvy of all of us and she's trying to tell him those shades with that hat aren't working...try something new. LOL!

I'm hopeful she will grow out of this issue. I'm leaning towards believing this is an "age-thing". We'll see. I can't begin to accurately explain though just how much fear clearly goes through her when he walks in wearing a hat and shades. Maybe he needs to take those off before entering the house. Strange kitty! Never been through this before. The pugs have never acted like that with me or Brad. They've seen us both in full Halloween costumes at times too. They've even seen Brad dressed up like Dracula, and no fear from them!
