Snarky here is the Fambly Hunter, but not much chance to exercise that in the RV, except for the occasional moth. Since she's such a dark brown, and has white whiskers, I love to see all her little "catching hairs" when she's sprawled out asleep. They're often pretty hard to spot on a kitty that isn't color-contrasted. I'm always amazed to see how MANY there are-- on the backs of the legs, a few at chest height, etc etc.

These are little stiff hairs that work much like whiskers, and really help a kitty grab stuff out of the air. Try counting Perrine's "catching hairs" (I know there must be a technical term out there somewhere) next time she's deeply asleep and flung out rather than curled up.
