The leap of a cat. The tension of the cat's legs, propelling them
forward and into the glass window separating the cat and the birds.
Head high, pretending that nothing has happened.
Their dignity not spoiling. Then, once more, leaping upon
the window, bouncing backwards.
Words coo like little bells as hands stroke silky fur.
"Good kitty."
"Did you get 'em, puss?"
"Don't ruin your fur, Snowball."
On and on and on...
Until... the cat moves to another window...
