This is true, Felicity.
I once danced a tail-less, keel guide kite across the back yard while a very young and precocious Tuffy fought bravely, savagely.
Leaping up to scratch and slash and bring the Intruder down by shredding the kite's keel. Severing it and the string away.
Tuffy later perfected this attack to leap straight up and catch my neighbor's Racing Pigeons as they flew over the back yard.
Jack.
I believe it and OOPS!
Fine demonstration of cat skills by Tuffy. On the other hand, not exactly a day-brightener for the pigeons (or their owner, for that matter)...
