Pattern A — Sustained Focus Optimal Flow

Intense chatter, tail tip flicking, sustained vigilance for 10–25 minutes without agitation or vocal distress.

Indicates high cognitive reward and healthy visual tracking stimulation.

check

Pattern B — Fleeting Interest Mild Engagement

Casual curiosity for under 2 minutes, then immediately wanders off or resumes napping elsewhere in the home.

Visual triggers may lack novelty, contrast, or kinetic frequency.

check

Pattern C — Barrier Agitation High Frustration

Frantic pacing, repetitive pawing at glass, low guttural yowling, or displaced swatting at nearby furniture and companions.

Classic presentation of blocked predatory motor patterns requiring redirection.

check

Pattern D — Apathy or Avoidance Zero Interest

Zero acknowledgment; rarely or never visits window ledges or perches, even when open, elevated, or warmed by sunlight.

May indicate environmental habituation, sensory underload, or elevated caution.
