Distraction must be what I keep them for

[desperance]

The boys just spent two frozen minutes staring at each other, across a cluttered office floor. Then, inevitably, Mac came a-hurtling into the fray - and halfway over, he landed on an empty cardboard box that made such a strange noise it quite startled him out of pounce.

So then he thought perhaps he might find his lost dignity in the bottom of the shredder. Which he has tipped over and emptied, and is now scratching vainly at the unforthcoming plastic.

Barry is just staring at the whole performance, utterly bewildered.

The other day, Bear stalked Sid. She did so stealthily, quietly, one big paw carefully raised and put down again, and then - she BOUNCED! BOING! Which would have been effective had Sid not been staring directly at her the whole time, with a 'you poor fool' trademark pitying stare.

Heh. Hopeless doggy optimism: you sort of have to admire it, in a cynical feline kind of way...

Sid only admires it in the sense that it can be Manipulated.
