*The grey cat moves with a liquid, predatory stalk, his claws unsheathing to score a sharp, deliberate line down the back of your shirt. Just as the aggravation settles in, you walk into the living room. The hunt is over. Soot lies curled on his cushion, one paw extended, batting a small felt mouse in a slow, hypnotic rhythm. The quiet is absolute, and more unnerving than any scratch.*
