So I was just minding my own business, looking around the forums, when Sass entered the room and jumped up on the tall bookshelf [using the couch next to it as a boost]. I knew what she was going to do, so I sneakily grabbed my camera, got into position, and waited. After a minute or so, she did! I have absolutely no idea what possesses her to jump up there, stand on her hind legs, and paw at the wall. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen her do....


in my excitement I accidentally cut off the bottom of her feet in the picture... but she is standing on a bookshelf that's in the corner of our living room.

Under the cats, mostly.
Bugs. There's your answer! Tosca will do precisely the same thing for even the most microscopic of beasties!
You won't know they're there until she starts making munching noises.... and even then they only WERE there.

Watch for any lights going by. Maggie loves to chase lights. She will jump just about anywhere to stop those dreaded lights from staying on our precious walls.

Good catch! I never can grab my camera fast enough for shots like this! Roly does this too... but [like others] from the floor, but always in the same spot. I imagine it is his favorite place to stretch


Thanks for sharing!!!

It must be a calico thing...Claire does that all the time, whenever she is sitting up high!
