"I can look down at you..."

[GoldyCat]

They are all so gorgeous!

GoldyCat - How only do your kitties get on the doors like that?

I've never seen them getting up, just catch them already on top. I have an idea the conversation goes something like this.
Shareena: Let's go get Goldy. She knows how to open closet doors.
Iris: Okay, the doors are open now. (Thanks, Goldy). So what's next?
Shareena: Meowmy's put these nice shelves in here for us to climb. Let me show you.
Iris: Okay, got it! Huh? Whadda ya mean I can't get back down the same way I came up? Let me think about this. Aha! I figured it out.

Here's Boots as a six month old kitten, scaring the absolute crap out of me by jumping all by his little self onto my freestanding cup cabinet.



For scale reference:

They are all so absolutely adorable!!!

Here is once again one of my favs of Jane on a tree:

 

[ambermay]

She's got beautiful eyes

 

Thank you very much!

Janie has a thing with her eyes that I can not ever capture.

They just come out blue - that's all.

In real life - her eyes reflect being almost purple-blue-violet shade.  I can never capture that.

I unintentionally trained her to look up to me when I kneel to kiss her little face - and that is when her eyes reveal this special color being close-up.

Gorgeous pics everyone!  

 

[ambermay]

Such beautiful pictures everyone!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!

They just warm our heats when we see them do such things, aren't they?

They are so special - everyone of them, no matter where they climb.

They just love it higher then us, humans.....

My new kitten Trudy does just the same as all others - just one pic of her on a tree - looking right down on me (well - I can't climb so high as they do):

My absolute favorite picture is of the tuxedo cat on top of the cabinets.  This is so much like what my Max would have been doing.  He passed on to Rainbow Bridge in 2005, but he spent a great deal of his life looking for some way to get higher.  LOL

It was hard finding pics I hadn't already posted.

Sugar on the top bookshelf.



To get there, she has to jump 3 feet up and 3 feet across, landing behind the books while avoiding the speaker shelf and the light can.. The shelf is only a foot deep and the place she starts from is the end of the windowsill about 8 inches long and 3 inches wide. Notice she hasn't disturbed a single book.
