I don't want to get precious about this but I have just observed one of my cats thinking. She was thinking, 'If I go out there by an indirect route through the bushes I can get close enough to that pigeon to KILL it.' I watched her eyes swivel from the pigeon to the indirect route and back again. She had already tried the direct approach and it didn't work.

The indirect approach didn't work either. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.
