Mamba’s technique is quite different from Quintus’s. Quintus stays mostly close to the screen and sometimes touches it. Mamba mostly hangs back, ready to pounce. When the bird or squirrel goes offscreen, Mamba shoots under the bed looking for where it went, or off to the other side. She’s had more real-world experience of hunting small creatures, and thinks in terms of heading them off. Quintus is working 100% from instinct – he’s never been close to a real bird. His instincts are telling him what he should do – but they don’t know quite what to make of the flat screen.
