The cat goes back to flying around the room. Getting a believable flapping motion from a creature that doesn't typically have wings is tricky and fun. It does laps around the ship, swooping at random intervals, steadily un-smudging and looking more like it's an actual thing that exists and makes sense.
Then it is nice and fully un-smudged and believable, and Inavet sends it swooping after the toy. Jingling, anatomy, no smudging, air movement from the flaps, a coherent illusion overall... Her? A workaholic? Never. It's not easy, but she's not practicing to do easy things, she's practicing to get better.
