Winkling

It's how Cyrrie gets another cat out of whatever spot he currently wants to be in: First he just stands over them, studying the situation, for quite a long time. Eventually he beings to lay down, not exactly on them, but so close as to make no difference. Amazingly, most of the time, instead of smacking him, the cat in prior posession of the chair, bed-spot, couch-spot, whatever, just gives up and leaves... Then Cyrrie takes posession, as if it's the most natural thing in the world. Even Petunnia capitulates (although I'm not so sure about Cloud).
