Hunter's Instinct?

This peculiar behavior was something we all got surprised with - and by we, I mean Barbie, Ben and me. After all, Buffy never showed this particular behavior - then again, we never did pit a flashlight on her face... but it's not the flashlight's light that is keeping her so interested... so concentrated.

Yes, she's hardly moving... keeping still, almost like she were hunting. Notice the alert look, the erect tail and the one leg up... as if she were ready to sprint at a second's notice? Apparently, she was all that... you see, said flashlight happens to have another feature... that of a laser pointer, and when Buffy sees the red dot of said pointer on the floor, she goes gaga racing after it.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason for her alert look and hunter's stance. Buffy has been conditioned to anticipate the light's arrival (meaning we just turn the laser pointer on and aim at the floor) and give it her best (but failed) shot to capture the light... once and for all.
