Has this ever happened to you?

I went through the Alphabet several times on Friday last,..trying to remember the name of an actress,..'Katherine Ross',..her name evaded me because most women with that first name that i know are 'Catherine'.

If in conversation with someone and i can not remember something,..i look at the ceiling,..then it comes to me,..a Lady friend suggested i stop this as when i look towards the ceiling the person i am in conversation with also looks up at the ceiling

 

Philip, that is the "cat syndrome". A cat will stare at something, the ceiling, the window, whatever, and the human will find him/herself staring in the same direction, trying to find out what the cat is staring at. Cats really enjoy this little game. I think you may have lived with cats so long that you are picking up the "staring at the ceiling cat syndrome".

 

Lol here Jane,.."cat syndrome",..oh yes the cats have had me going crazy at times,..sitting on the floor in front of me,..staring over my head and i just had to look over my shoulder .

Living with the cats and a dog one copies them ,..there was a stray cat at the bottom of the garden scaring my cats,..instead of shouting at it i forgot myself and began barking like a dog,..thankfully nobody spotted me

 

MG....yeah, what is with that? It really is a case of trying trying trying does not work & one must "look away" and let the memory come to you.
