Or is this bizarre?

Background so as to avoid a drip feed: I have 3 cats. I have a mother.

My mother phoned me today. She asked me why I posted on Facebook about my cats "presenting" themselves to me.

I didn't remember such an event.

Some gentle sleuthing confirmed o never posted such a thing. (Nor would I have reason to.)

Is my poor mother getting a little confused? Or is she trying to confuse me?

Wise Mumsnet crew, your insights would be deeply appreciated!

Why did she think you had?

What?! 😂🙈

She told me she'd looked at my profile and had kept an eye on it.

She's otherwise not confused. She's young.

Admittedly she lives a little while away. I'm visiting next week. I'm a psychiatrist, but might be too close to assess objectively!

It's not appeared on her th in one of those "5 years ago" type posts maybe??

Fb not th

I didn't have Facebook until 2016, and had no cats until 2017!

Have you posted a photo which most animal people would see as them showing a tummy to be tickled but other non animal people would see as 'ARGH....NIPPLES/CAT-PUSSY-PENIS'?

If not then I have no idea!

Or maybe it's you losing the plot, not her

Eh, I could be!

No, cat pictures all very demure.

Have you liked or commented on something that may have appeared in her newsfeed?

Any family history of early onset dementia?

No family history of early or late onset dementia.

I'm not inclined to comment on stuff really.

My theory is that she had a dream and now Father Ted needs to help her separate it from reality.

Yes I thought dream too, especially if no other worrying signs/history. My sister has been known to make her oh apologise for things he did in her dreams, poor BIL!

Maybe another Facebook of someone with the same name as you?

@Rosamund1 I doubt it because my name is "creative".

My DM gave me Earl Grey tea because she said she read I liked it on Facebook. I've never posted anything about Earl Grey but did once post a photo of a F&M tea caddy next to a cup and saucer. I love tea but hate Earl Grey.

Is there a photo of you with a cat coincidentally photo-bombing and walking away from the camera with a bum proudly on show? She may have noticed it and fixed on it? How odd!

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops I love your username and that is totally possible!

I had a friend tell me about something I had posted - I was adamant I hadn't. It was a click bait thing though - I must have clicked something that posted - I couldn't see it but friends could. Maybe something like that?

All possible. I'll keep an eye out!

Or the obvious one that everyone has missed..... your cat has posted on your behalf on your fb page.
