Bit scary though... I'm glad mine don't jump that high or else I'd have to put up taller fences around the garden.

I wish I could let Elvis out, but I have foxes in the area and a geriatric pitbull upstairs that still chases cats.

Blind, deaf, arthritic, no teeth left, 15 years old, but he won't give it up.

Elvis hates him and tries to attack him whenever he sees him...

Weird, because he gets along fine with the other dogs ( and everyone else ) he's been around.

Monty is our ace jumper - he leaps up 4 or 5 feet with ease. It's quite something to see it.
Usually he goes from the kitchen table to the top of the high bookcase, then lounges around up there looking down on us all, with a big smug grin on his face.

Elvis always takes a bow to the audience after one of his performances.

Yeah. I have lots of high cat shelves for Elvis & Coco around the place, too. She hasn't made it to the top of the fridge yet, though.

Now, we're hesitant to let her go onto the deck without a harness and leash and supervision. 4 stories high is a little scary to me if she's a jumper.

Elvis is still a bit clumsy at times. I wouldn't I'd trust him at altitude. He can jump, but I doubt he can glide...

Floyd can easily jump onto the top of a door from a virtual standstill and just sits there feeling very pleased with himself ........................ until the door shuts

It's amazing how they can balance.



He likes to sit on the top of the chair back at times. Even goes to sleep there...

Sometimes I worry about Elvis when he goes tearing around the house. He's not always under control and bashes into things.

He seems to concentrate a bit more when he's in the air.
