Playing chicken

Earlier this evening the female human came out the bathroom, heading for the kitchen.  At the same time I had begun my trek to the bathroom, completely by coincidence of course, and our paths were set on a collision course.

Would I veer?  NEVER!  

I kept on my course.

So did she.

She gave no indication she saw me coming.  I prepared for impact.

....

Nothing!

At the last second the human did a little twist with her leg and completely avoided me!  And with nary a misstep.

So now I have retreated to my pillow on top of the couch to ponder the encounter.  The name of the game was to see who flinched first.  So technically the human lost, as she moved to avoid me.  And yet, there was no inconvenience to her, no disturbance created, with no effort.  I must call this one a draw.
