Something Dead in the Road
You know that 'ecking' sound that cats make when they want to fight something? I always assumed it was a fighting thing at least. I always catch Jonesy doing it out a window at squirrels, chipmunks, the neighborhood stray, our neighbors dog... you get the idea. He doesn't understand that he probably wouldn't make it out there. He has lived his entire life indoors, with little moments of leashed and monitored outdoor time. I imagine he could probably take on a squirrel or a chipmunk, but he would certainly be mauled by the stray and could probably never hope to catch one of the birds he often watches so intently. The panes of glass that he seems to resent so often are, in fact, what keep him safe. My kid wasn't awake when I stepped out of my wife and I's room so I carefully walked down the stares to hopefully keep it that way. I like to wake up early before everyone else.
