@stux how does he get down from the closet. duh, he walks. with style. because he's a cat. @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. 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 I've seen a mouse do that behind a fridge! But this cat is even more impressive. @stux Cats probably learned it, sneaking up on Miocene primate meals. |
@stux Cats treat gravity as optional.
