The cat was walking up the drive when he noticed three crows down in the rockery.
He chose one and ran towards it. It flew up into the air, and the cat just arched his back slightly and jumped off all four paws and rose elegantly upwards for nearly four feet.
He looked just like a cartoon of a UFO taking off!
He landed neatly (without the crow) in the exact spot he took off from.
I've seen another cat do something similar once. She was sleeping curled up on my lap when DH, who was putting up shelves, started drilling in a brick wall. Cat woke drifted three feet upwards and landed not on me, but on the adjacent desk to the computer table I was sitting on.
