this would be followed about half the time by Xena's leaping triumphantly into an inaccessible spot, 20% of the time by Zipper's turning around and looking towards the food bowl, and 30% of the time by a rolling, flailing mass of terrifying squeals.

In this case, only about one tenth of Nestor's mind is occupied with intimidating Radka; he's mostly just waiting by the door in a vain attempt to get me to let him outside. Radka just happens to be walking past and has perceived a threat because she's the low cat in the dominance hierarchy and it's what she does.

jarai will immediately notice that this cannot possibly be the original perspective of the photo upon emerging from my $300 camera. (There wasn't much I could do about the noise, though; I'd been experimenting with jacking up the ISO.)
