    Wow Jackie wouldn't I love to hear that! 6 MCs on a drum kit! Next time they have a session maybe you could record it and post the sample on the forum - now there's a challenge!

    Haha! He certainly is! Still likes to attempt a leg climb if I'm not on my guard with the dishcloth, but he never gets further than my knee these days... phew!

    Jump or Climb

    If hubby leaves drum kit up in there again will see what I can do....!
    Now the babes have grown up & with the others 9kg plus cats hurling around things had started to go flying but one day could have the MC drummers instead of a cats choir.

    Hi
    my maine coon is very clumsy when he tries to jump up any where. Always has been. I did read that maine coons prefer the ground. It could be cos they are so long in the body, like dogs!

    Buddy is definately a climber and as others have seen on his FB status's he encountered a ladder a few weeks back and had to be rescued :( In all honestly I don't think I have ever seen him jump more than a foot, he seems to climb up and down everything, outside walls included.

    Samantha was an amazing jumper, she would jump to the nightstand and from there to the top of my armoire where she liked to sleep, to get down she would leap onto the bed like a 4 year old, rather shocking when she did it in the middle of the night, nothing like 17lbs of MMC landing on you to rouse your from a deep slumber.
    One of her favorite games when she was young was mouse ball, when we lived in the apartment and I was on the porcelain throne she would bring me a rattle mouse and I would try to toss it past her, this was almost impossible as she could leap 5 feet in the air and snag the mouse on a single claw.
    Good times, she was very proud of herself and I would give her great praise and she would glow with Kitty Joy.
    I've never know another cat that responded so well to praise.

    Roxy both jumps and climbs a lot! The only time she does not like to jump is when we are playing with a wand toy she often doesn't want to jump for it because she's afraid she'll slip... Her paws have so much fur under them that it's hard for her to jump and land properly on a slick surface. If it's carpet or if she's jumping up onto something (so she doesn't have to worry about the landing) she will not hesitate to jump though.

    Oh yeah I just remembered I have this jump video from when she was a kitten, she loved to leap into her stroller (she was playing with my other kitten Church):
