You'll like what just happened. I'm working from home today and I dug out Sora's toy stuffed quail and set it on the windowsill. Sora followed me into the bathroom, away from his post at the window, and when we left, he sauntered ahead of me until he spotted the window and fixated on it. He slunk up to it and carefully stood up. Then he reached out and patted the quail, which fell over. Sora went, basically, "Oh, shit, it's not a bird!" and stomped off. XD

We now want to move the quail all over the house and see what he does.
