Cats In Trees

Back before I saw the light, I let my kitties outside, and they'd climb trees, including the palms in my yard.

Here's the late Devil, up in a palm tree.

Show us your cats in trees.

For some reason I have only Rocket in a tree photos. I am going out on a limb (pun intended) and saying that it is because Link is horrible at climbing and Fury is too quick.

And yes, for some reason she climbs head first down things. She tends to do this one arm twist when she's about five feet from the ground to end up tail down. Scares me half to death every time that she is going to dislocate her shoulder. When she comes down the bird aviary she sometimes falls in the maneuver and ends up in the bushes.

Just to add, Link famously jumped over a lap and ended up face first on the floor. He also is in the habit of standing on his hind legs, putting is front paws on the surface he wants to go on, then jumping just enough to get up on the chair, couch etc. Him going up trees is absolutely hilarious.

Nightfury is up the tree before you even knew he was climbing. Link, usually chasing him, will take a huge running leap at the tree and end up six inches off the ground. Usually looking very proud of himself. He then ends up doing a shimmy crawl type move up the tree until he gets to a branch he can stand on. It really is very funny. Luckily we have three easy climb trees leading to the roof for him with short trunks and long arching branches.

Missy lost interest in climbing trees, but she has been there and done that.

Mittens is my little dare devil that climbs trees for the fun of it.

dustydiamond1 - I used to be the same way but Mittens has proved himself quite capable of doing this. Lol He's probably the most amazing cat I have ever seen as far as climbing trees.
