[ Loiosh, an orange tabby, is laying on my bed. He’s being gently poked in the side by a BRIGHT yellow foam sword. His mouth is very slightly open, and possibly his tongue is sticking out a bit, but it’s hard to tell. ]

[ Both Loiosh and the sword are in focus, now, mostly because Loiosh’s head is right above the tip; he’s sniffing it intently, looking for all the world as if he’s thinking about taking a bite. ]
… he did not take a bite.
