Asleep at the Wheel!
I wonder when our cats will seek revenge for this post? Letting the world know that the feline race is not all graceful may be my undoing….
Cats are remarkably graceful, usually, but there are times that can make you wonder.
Tiger our oldest cat likes to sleep on top of things. The TV, stereo, computer tower, and anywhere else she feels like that is higher and throne-like. The problem is that once she is asleep the height is not always forgiving and she makes a very loud noise falling off!
Tiger is not alone in this skill as Mystery has the same problem with his sleeping arrangements and can end up waking up in a hurry after gravity takes over.
All of our mighty hunters need to practice their take offs and landings, or at least learn to judge distance! They knock things off tables, shelves, window sills, and furniture while learning the laws of physics. Apparently they were all watching Butterflies when the professor gave the lecture on leaping 101, and slept through nesting safety!
I know I am taking a big chance getting this information out there to the public; the four of them got perfect scores in revenge and human torture and practice it at every possible opportunity! If you don’t hear from me in a day or two send a rescue party and a couple of cans of tuna….

Rainy says you are clearly mistaken and that she has never,ever been known to wallow around so much on top of a counter that she falls off. EVER!
Clearly you are msitaken about the cats’ intentions when rearranging the things you left on the shelves. They are helping you to put them away, or preventing them from collecting dust.
Really, we humans are so lazy, leaving books on the bookshelves when those are clearly kitty butt spots.
