"Oh my God! I missed it,” Kay Ford laughed as she attempted to capture cellphone video of Central Virginia's most famous feline leaping onto a windowsill in her Mechanicsville home.
Ford called the 6-year-old white and gray Domestic Shorthair's achievement a “milestone accomplishment” as the big boy had been eyeing that spot for quite some time.
She admitted that she was a "puddle of emotion" last Sunday mornng after Patches jumped and made it onto her windowsill.
Ford said it was a new year and new world for Patches, who she said has been returning to that spot to bird watch ever since.
