How can cats simply materialize??

OK, picture this.......there is only ONE Monte, right? RIGHT!

so please explain, if you can, how he can be in 2 places at once?

OK.....this morning I am at the top of my stairs (the only way to the 1st floor from the 2nd floor). I look to my right, into the first room and there is my sweet Monte sitting on the desk looking out at me.

I walk down the stairs which end in the living room, turn and walk parallel with the stairs and into the kitchen and who comes RACING out of the kitchen but that same white cat! There is no way for him to get into the kitchen from the 2nd floor without passing us on the stairs.

Are there TWO Montes???
