boing boing boing

today, as I was watching, Deets spied a moth. she sprung directly into the air without even crouching first, fully spread above the ground with arms and legs akimbo. gravity took her down to land beautifully, barely touching four paws to the dirt before she did it again. again! without any seeming preparation Deets flew spread eagle to this moth and clapped at it. again landing on all fours, then magnificently launching into the air without any seeming propellant. twirling as she reached for the moth a third time. I saw her whole belly. I saw her whole back. I was reminded of having a pet sugar glider almost 20 years ago. he also leapt, limbs wide, through the air. Deets reminded me of a commercial for happy cats, bouncy and playful. the moth got away, this time.
