The other cat sits in the window and looks up at the arriving birds. However, this cat prefers the time of day when the sun shines through the window. She then sits and faces the wall, waiting to pounce on the bird shadows. After all, they're inside the room...

That is sooo uncanny. And here I thought one of our cats was weird! At night, when the streetlight shines through the faceted glass in the front door, it makes a sparkly design on the opposing wall. When we hear that "swoosh, plop, swoosh, plop", we know Taffy is jumping several feet into the air and sliding down the wall trying to get the sparkles! And don't EVEN get a flashlight out...or one of those laser pointers!
