Barbossa & Pyrate both love to go as high as possible. We built a custom cat tree with planks so all the high islands are accessible and they race up and down, thundering thru the house.
These kittens are continually testing themselves and leaping higher and higher. They have gotten strong and agile. And nothing can stop them from doing exactly what they want!

Hehe... sounds like my brazen little pair! Tigga Tower in front room window, both cats on a platform each, on their backs, legs akimbo. No dignity - Freyja seems quite proud to flash to the passers by. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the postman walking up the front path chuckling at the cats flashing him.
Both cats are allowed on our breakfast bar as we used to have the Tigga Tower at the end of it so couldn't really avoid Freyja getting on it, but they can't get to any other worktops once they're up there. Freyja can jump clean up from the floor and has been able to for months; Wicca's not yet big enough/ brave enough. Until Wicca came home, though, Freyja never tried to get up on the other kitchen worktops, but in the last couple of months she's been caught out several times. What bothers me more than her being up their, or nicking food, is that the hob's nestled amongst them and I've got this nagging fear that she's going to jump up there just after we've finished cooking and burn herself, so I've got a spray bottle of water on stand by now. I don't really like the spray approach but I don't want to take any chances in this instance. Wicca will be a nightmare when she's big enough though, not sure even water spray will discourage her!

Haha Karen sounds like Wicca is the naughty one! Is it a black smoke thing, I wonder?

I've not heard that they are poor jumpers. Certainly my 2 are very good at it! Especially Monty. He can jump clean onto the kitchen counter with inches to spare. Yesterday, he way overjumped onto the kitchen table, because he wanted to miss the fruit bowl, but he still landed with his back paws in it! He can also leap from the counter to the table, a fair distance of 5 or 6 feet. It's wonderful to see such an athletic creature, after being used to elderly moggies with dodgy back legs! Sounds like Teddy Bearz is a long, gangly, unco-ordinated clumsy clown of a cat, and he's having a lot of fun! Maybe he'll improve with practice. It took ages for Larry to learn how to jump. He's not as good as his brother, but he's not bad.

This is where I spotted Minnie and Monty yesterday evening. It immediately made me think of this thread, so of course I grabbed the camera.
That cupboard is about 2.3 metres tall. They reach the top from the open staircase next to it. The distance from the top shelf to the ceiling is about 10 cm... El Monto had to flatten himself almost to the thickness of a plaice.
