Surprise!

I was sitting in the garden with my stripey cat on my lap, fiddling with a couple pieces of cloth and some wire, trying to figure out a way to make a single-hand puppet with an independently rotating head. I finally figured something out and was practicing the head movements when I saw Casey giving it the eye. The puppet hopped over to the cat and, with its independently rotating head, looked her up and down. Casey was so surprised that she bared her teeth and batted at it! I guess my experiment was successful.
