Re: Griceian cats.

"What is the natural expression of intention? —Look at a cat when it stalks a bird; or a beast when it wants to escape."

Was ist der natürliche Ausdruck einer Absicht? Sieh eine Katze an, wenn sie sich an einen Vogel heranschleicht; oder ein Tier, wenn es entfliehen will.

Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations §647 (courtesy of R. Paul).
