Shelter from the Storm

So my cat, Magic, is afraid of thunder. She has a special place where she always goes when there's a thunderstorm --- at the top of the stairs, off to the side where there's a sort of fenced-in ledge for her to sit on and overlook the people (and other cats) coming and going on the main floor.

She likes closed-in spaces.

There's an end table opposite the ledge, so it's a very snug fit indeed!

She's very cute when she sits there, and it usually calms her down --- it's not uncommon for her to go to sleep there, thunder or no thunder. So I tried to take a few pictures of her; she has a certain posture that she always adopts, with her front paws pressed together under her chest and folded over the ledge.

Magic sitting in her special spot. She's got greeneye* because I can't control the flash.

"Quit taking pictures of me, you weirdo!"

*Does anyone know why cats get greeneye instead of redeye? What's different about their eyes? Is it lens shape?
