[There's a few moments, of rather quiet pawing through, using claws with the cunning any cat is capable of when curious enough.
And whatever happens next, is it ends in a flurry of motion, scrambling on the surface of the counter, hitting the floor in a run, and seems to realize it's OPEN there, and darts back to the far side of the counter, flattening there, every inch of fur hackled.]
