Some photos just capture the essence of Noe perfectly.
Case in point:
Here, we see Noe waiting at the edge of the kitchen for noms while vegetables are being chopped for dinner. Her posture is relaxed, but alert. Note also that her front half lies on the cool surface of the linoleum, while her rear paws have traction on the carpet in case she needs to leap up and move quickly.
And yes, her patience was eventually rewarded with a yummy piece of kale.
