It's always a little strange when they stare at blank walls. But that thing they do where they suddenly perk up and stare intently over your shoulder when you're home alone? That is the WORST.

There is always a split second where I'm convinced there's an axe murderer standing just behind me. There never is, but I can never keep myself from checking just to make sure...

We actually looked this up recently, and the answer seemed to be that they want something from you. In Murphy's case I don't think it's food, because he'd find a more direct way to let us know about that. I think it's either attention or play in his case.
