Okay, for lack of knowing where to put this thread I picked here because it is image heavy. Anya is a climber. More so than any other cat I've ever had. We've tried to cat proof our apartment accordingly but now she's taken to getting places we never imagined she could get.
Here she is on the high shelves in the kitchen...
Here she just looks proud of herself and smug. I promptly got a chair and got her down...
This one is the one that stumps us. She has a new fascination with jumping on top of the door in our bedroom and balancing up there. I have a video of her getting up there too (very gracefully I might add) but I can't figure out how to upload it.
Any ideas how to give her safer boundaries?? I'm so scared of her falling and hurting herself. I've seen her fall from our bookcase which isn't hardly as high or treacherous as either of these places. (She wasn't hurt. And I have since removed the item that threw her off balance.)
Brian and I have thought that maybe we would get her a HUGE cat tree. One that goes higher than anything else in the apartment. Maybe this will be her new fave high spot?
Has anyone else had a cat with this urge to climb and be high? And how have you dealt with it?
Mods, if you feel I would get better advice in another area like the lounge, or behavior, or care and grooming, please feel free to move this thread.
