Diesel used to have moments of youth all the way up to his 17th + year. It was always amazing to watch. Suddenly batting an object or going after furniture with his big claws. Halloween caricature with arched back and fluffy tail. Then as quickly it would be gone as if nothing had happened. Blinking and wondering why everyone was looking at him. Rubbing his whiskers on a door frame or sitting down to wash his face. The way a human will try to ignore something accidental or spontaneous like tripping on a crack in the sidewalk or having a sudden outburst. Always cool.
