Um...I don't think so, although Hekitty is an indifferent jumper. She can, she just prefers NOT to.
I have 3 pretty weak hunters. Henry couldn't care less. Lily will stalk a fly or a lizard for a few minutes before becoming bored and wandering off. Sophie will watch the fly or lizard for a few minutes before becoming bored and wandering off. She will not do any stalking like Lily does. The dog (in her younger days) had a better track record of fly catching than all 3 cats combined. Now that she's 14 and arthritic, she has joined Henry as a member of the "could not care less club".
I'm not sure Fluffy sees as well as she should. She really has to use her nose to find treats in front of her. She doesn't have trouble tracking toys a little in front of her.
I can't believe it's November already! I swear it was just New Years...
My boys are terrified of ants. They have no problem with the moth-fly creatures (they're great little hunters!) but not ants. Not sure that counts, lol.
Lucky was a klutz. Almost every cat I've had was pretty graceful in the walking department. Not Lucky. He could have all the room in the world, and still knock stuff over. He'd turn his head to see what the sound was, then keep moving and knocking more stuff over.

let's see..........
for mickey
and snick
, it would be their lack of hunting skills -- absolutely no interest in hunting. they once let a mouse run along the baseboards of our living room (in a previous apartment), and simply slept through it.
for our jaspurr, i think it's that he's totally a lover and never a fighter. he doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body!
and as for little punky, she has yet to master urinating in the litter and not over the edge of the litter pan -- we have the plastic storage bin with litter pan in it litter box set up, so the urine never hits the actual floor here. i've been thinking i should buy stock in the company that makes simple green, we use so much of it.
with our deedee, it would be her total non interest in catnip. well, more like she likes the smell of it, but doesn't seem to know what to do with it -- loose catnip, or catnip filled toys.

Casey likes to jump up on the railing in my kitchen to greet my hubby after work. He sometimes misses and hubby ends up catching him. This is not a high railing like on a staircase.
Apollo rolls himself off the top of the couch when hubby pets his tummy. He goes to jump back up on the top of the couch and jumps over it so he lands on the couch.
Sonny likes to climb on me and give me kisses before I go to bed. Sometimes he only gets half his body on me and ends up digging his nails into my comforter to get himself in the right position.
Starbuck is a munchkin and is not a jumper because of her short legs. She sometimes decides to climb my hubby if he does not acknowlege her fast enough when she wants attention. Once in a while she will climb the cat tree and use it to jump on us in bed when we are asleep:

All my former feral cats seem to possess super-powers. They can jump, climb, get over cat-proof fences, open cupboards, knock bats out of the air and do all kinds of things that I really wish they wouldn't do.
Hiro climbing.
Button Moon. I have no idea how he gets up there.
The only one who doesn't do much is Forest. He was man-made rather than born after generations of natural selection. He doesn't know how to cat.

Zoe is our klutz cat. That girl just cannot jump. She seems to have depth perception issues. :uuh:
