Yep, he's completely focussed on the "prize", for sure and bet in a matter of seconds, he had it between his paws and in his mouth! :) Great timing to get "the look" so perfectly, Mary! #11397265

Oh ya, you got him hooked now. Look at that concentration and you just know he is going to pounce on it at any time. A beautiful cat with gorgeous colors and markings. All us cat lovers love doing this and playing with our tabbies. A wonderful picture that even those who don't have one can enjoy.
You take care dear friend. Stay strong. #11397493

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 14, 2015

There's that crazy little cat! HeeHee :D I love it when we see the WILD in a cats eyes. They dilate and focus and kitty goes into attack mode. Lucky Boy (Our smartest of the three) would look at me sometimes and I WOULD MAKE THE WILD EYES LOOK and he knew to get right into play mode. Mama was about to do something really fun or pick out a favorite toy for him to bat at and kill! :))) So fun. I miss having kitties so much. This is precious and so is Riley. :D #11399057

Mary K. Robison November 14, 2015

Thanks for commenting, Kiki and Pom.
You made me laugh, Pom --- "I WOULD MAKE THE WILD EYES LOOK" --- Tee Hee!!
I wish Danny worked that way. Last night, he was cuddled in my lap, presumably content, when he looked up with THE WILD EYES LOOK, and I thought, "Time for the water bottle!" He started to chew on my blouse, I reached down for the bottle, and he was outta there like a bat outta hell! When he gets behind the blinds, all I need do is start to hand Scott the bottle, and he (Danny, not Scott)comes flying out of there. It's great to have a back-up system in every room of the house. That way, we can love him when he's cute or sleepy, and squirt him when he's got THE WILD EYES LOOK!! I love that phrase!
