Jaquie was curled up in Jim&#8217;s lap, half asleep.  I suddenly noticed one of those annoying, tiny black bugs flying around above the couch, so I said, &#8220;Jaquie, look!

Unfortunately, the little fly chose that moment to zoom down near her, and buzz around near her whiskers, where she couldn&#8217;t help but notice him.  She opened her eyes wide and stared at it for just a second, then&#8230; SNAP.  She ate him.<\/p>\n<p>It was so sudden and bizarre &#8211; Jim and I laughed until I had to wipe away tears.  For those of you who have seen &#8220;Enchanted,&#8221; it reminded me of the end of &#8220;Happy Working Song.&#8221;  Jaquie jumped down from the couch, apparently offended that we were laughing at her slick catch.  I have to remind myself that she was born feral: she spent the first year of her life living on the street, where  she probably ate bugs all the time.
