cat in the trash
One evening I opened a bottle of wine and tossed the cork across the
room into the trash basket.  Snobol, my black cat (really!), had
previously climbed into the basket and gone to sleep.  I learned this
when the cork hit the cat, who responded by jumping about two feet
straight into the air and hitting the ground running.

I guess you might say she showed her esprit de cork...
