Piper vs. a Fly!

I have heard numerous stories since meeting Brad about the adventures of Storm with flies or bugs.  Sadly by the time I came into the picture Storm wasn't into chasing flies or bugs. However, I have naturally been anxious to see Piper in action with her first fly. 

Well I was not disappointed the other night when Piper took offense to a fly arriving on the scene. We were in the kitchen fixing dinner together when our attention was captured by the noise of Piper lunging herself into one of our living room windows. At first we were unsure if she was bird watching or seeing something else.  Brad soon figured out she was after a fly.  The fly likely came in our home thanks to me opening the door to the balcony for an extended look at the rain that was coming down in buckets. Perhaps the fly was seeking shelter!

We then stopped to watch her leap around the room in an effort to gain height. She has a very cute leap!  My amusement with the situation increased when my husband wanted to be a good kitty dad by way of assisting little Piper in her quest. There he was hoisting her up in the air to help her get closer. LOL!  Man, it was funny. As she swatted with her paws he held her up. 

Unfortunately, in the end she was unsuccessful. The fly was later found in the windowsill in a room that Piper has no access to.  Better luck next time, Hyper-Piper!
