In our living room is a doorless opening to our kitchen. On either side of the door in the living room are high-backed couch and chair set. Ritzy often jumps from one to the other across the span of the doorway.

I was in the kitchen heading into the living room and ZOOM, out of nowhere was this "airborne Ritzycat" flying in front of me a little more than waist high. Had a been a second or two earlier, she would have slammed into my side.

Heart skipped a beat, indeed!
