I've mentioned Dumbass Cat before. Here, I will discuss her pounce logic.
I walk into the living room. Dumbass is hunkered down on the carpet, "hidden in the tall grass". Ears laid back, hind end shifting from left to right. I get within five feet, and she looks very startled and runs like hell.
I walk down the hall. She's set up in the cross-doorway. When she sees me, she rears up, waves her fore-paws for a second, and runs like hell.
I walk along, and feel a very light batting at the back of my shins. I turn around and discover that Dumbass has run like hell.
This is the most chickenshit cat that ever has lived. Luckily, she gets massive enjoyment from the "ok, come here, dumbass, I'll pet ya" part of cat-dom.
