First Snap

Stiff. Then... snap. Ear twitched. Noise loud inside head: Grrr. I look down. There is a pink phone case on the dark floor. Small target. I drop forward, kicking my stubby plush legs, and land smack against the plastic casing. Hit. Good hit. Snarl softly into the carpet. It does not move back, so I stay pressed against it, claws ready, watching.
