My thought too!

If I should go away for a few days or a week I have very good neighbours who look after Furbag. She would absolutely hate going into a cattery because she'd think she was being rehomed (again).

Glad 2 people got the reference

Well it had to happen at some point, Smokey did this again today, except she over shot it and went over the bannister clawed at the base of the railings for a nano second then carried on falling…. I raced to the stairs to find her in the 2nd bottom step looking a little confused, and more than a bit sheepish, no broken bones or injuries other then pride luckily



Maybe this will persuade her to use the cat tree we bought ( ha ha ha)….

One of my parents' old cats did almost exactly this. They had a very similar banister arrangement and she liked to race up the stairs, leap onto a chair that sat opposite the end of the banister then spring back onto the banister itself. One evening I watched as she did this but cleared the banister entirely and flailed through the air back to the bottom of the stairs. Like yours, no harm done, thankfully...

dont they always 'right' themselves in mid air? Genuine q and apologies for my rudimentary knowledge.

I know cats like to sit in boxes, but I always assumed the minimum criteria was that they could fit their backside in them. Not with Betty...

I think it just needs all feet inside the box. Everything surplus is just showing off !!

On that occasion ours did, landed on her feet but tumbled forwards a short way. I think that thing about cats landing on their feet was disproven though, or at least now has a caveat that "only if they fall far enough".

They do know which way is up, but would need some travel time to adjust!

Anyone fancy offering up a name for our new little girl? She is about 1 and doesn't have a name that they know of

[B'stard Child]

Minnie cos she looks like she's gonna be a minx

[Vasco]

Twinkle

[Raccaccoonie]

Roo as in the stance looks like a kangaroo.

[AstonZagato]

She looks identical to our cat, Jasmine (we had a Disney character naming convention for cats - Princess Jasmine)

[B'stard Child]

I was also trying to keep it car related (mini, minx)

Could go down the engines route - pinto, lotus, twink,

Probably not AJPV8 tho

Apparently I was 5 minutes late with breakfast this morning

[Gretchen]

I’m testing unwell at the moment and relegated to the sofa with my animal print throw



Definitely locked in until breakfast.
