Omg, would he be making that adorable krkrkrkrkrkr sound? I had a cat growing up and she would do that while looking at birds.
Edit: Story time because I can’t resist. I had this cat when I was living in Russia in a tall rise on the 9th floor.
And one time, she was sitting at the window, making that krkrkrkr or ekekekek… thankfully I came close to see what she was doing.
She saw a pigeon on the windowsill outside and jumped after him. I grabbed her and pulled her back in.
She would have fallen if not for that. We never kept the window open again. But…
She caught a whole-ass pigeon and dragged it, while it was bleeding and flapping its wings, all the way to the bathroom.
There, she hid behind the toilet and made those VOOOOOOOOOO sounds at us until we were finally able to catch her and get the bird out (sadly didn’t survive).
My cat went straight up feral that day.
I used to live on the 15th floor of a high rise building. One day I had the windows open and my cat saw something outside that he tried to attack. There was nothing outside to catch him if the screen had given way: it was a drop straight to the ground. Fortunately the screen held in place, but it was scary.
I never opened the window that far again.
