The fluid grace of cats

    We moved house a few weeks ago... The bedroom is upstairs in this house for the first time in these cats' lives.

    Also, because there is only one door here ( old Irish farmhouse) the cats cannot get in without going past the dreaded collie.

    But they have solved that dilemma neatly

    To our amazement one night, cat appeared at the bedroom window. And now they both exit and enter that way. There is a wide gatepost almost under the window.. But until today we had never seen either of them come in.

    The cat literally ran up the wall from the gatepost... a swift fluid grace of huge beauty.

    Wonderful creatures!

    Aww, one of the reasons I love cats. :)

    I was upstairs in my bedroom one day a few weeks ago and saw my cat just appear on the windowsill and fall off. My window was open, and he had been meowing outside and tried to jump in :eek: and fell back down, but didn't seem to mind at all!

    Wait till they start playing the "Please let me out of the front door and then I'll be back through the window and beg to be let out again" game.
    One of my cats would play that one for hours on end....

    lol

    But the dreaded collie sleeps by the front ( only door)....Before they found the window, there would be a scuffle as cat came in at window and tried to get past collie unseen. Collie is seriously claustrophobic because of past abuse and if she cannot see out she goes berserk.

    So this way they have solved a major access problem; cats are not daft.

    Its amazing when you see them in such action. I have two cats. One is male one female. I always thought that he was the more active of the two but she can scale massive heights. She was way way way up a tree in our garden one day and was meowing pathetically, i was thinking about where id get a ladder and a willing man asap. SO i went into the house to make calls, i look out the window and she is scaling down, light as a feather, stupid biatch! (me that is for believing her!):o
