@stux

it makes perfect sense if you hold your phone sideways…

WTL

@stux Some strips of Velcro on the wall could produce some hilarious results.

@stux I showed this to my partner who immediately said, "Is that paw-kour?"

@baconandcoconut @stux oh god are we married to the same person? 🙄😁

@rothko @stux If there's two of him and you found the other, then congratulations on being married to the best person!

@stux by contrast Bottle-Brush, a Backyardian feral, fled from me a few years ago, leaped up the fence, tried to leap from the top onto a neighboring shed, and did not Mind The Gap. Cue sounds of a heavy and very surprised cat rattling down between fence and shed until hitting ground with a mighty Thud, then Fleeing in embarrasment.

Bottle-Brush was fine; only his pride was hurt. I laughed at him.

The theme of "Mission Impossible" started to play in my head automatically.

@stux

It's not so much that the cat does it as the fact that the cat figures out that it can do it.

I appreciate genius where I find it.

@stux Why did the cat go down from the closet ?

Because it can

Oblomov

@stux you find that impressive? My cats used to climb UP glass with this technique (squeezing between the glass and the shutters)

Giselle

@stux Whoa! Chimney climbing, - only downwards, HEAD FIRST!, and by a CAT!! Oh my god...

What a clever, clever little beastie!
Totally the acrobat.

Martin Rundkvist

@stux I've seen a mouse do that behind a fridge! But this cat is even more impressive.

Ritsu

@stux Not sure if I should be impressed or terrified lol

How are cats real

@stux I mean, animals that are known to jump everywhere all the time probably have the deepest understanding of physics you can have without doing researches.

#Alt4You :
the cat gets down in the gap between wall and closet by pressing their back against the wall with their feet against the closet. It looks like walking down the vertical part of the closet without gravitiy

Matthew Hall

@stux spider-cat, spider-cat... can do whatever a spide-pig can!

Chris Johnson

@stux Legit impressive, having lived around cats many decades,

DELETED

@stux I've seen a mouse do this, with a smaller gap.

WellsiteGeo

@stux
It's a mountaineering manoeuvre called "back & footing", also, "chimneying".
Cavers also use it, also nose-down..

Cats probably learned it, sneaking up on Miocene primate meals.

@stux
Holy shit !!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐱

Karma Sahne

@stux I guess your cat likes to watch Tom and Jerry.

DELETED

@stux equal and opposite force is how he got down, the wall on his back created enough lateral force (longitudinal for him) he just wedged it.

@stux

Same route up?

Where did this cat go to school?
