It takes a long holiday weekend, but life has finally settled down long enough for me to post more photos of my cats doing stupidly cute things. If only we could somehow harness the power of internet cat photos, we’d have this global warming thing licked for sure!
For the record, the top of that cabinet in our bathroom was the last horizontal surface in our house to be cat-free. An era of pretending there’s at least one place safe from feline assault is now at an end; I see nothing but trouble ahead.

Valentine looks absolutely astonished that you managed to find her and capture the moment!
Except that I was getting ready for bed at the time and was there to see the whole thing, including all of the mental calculations required to try to figure out the jump from the top of the door onto the cabinet.
Living with kittens = never ending entertainment
My goodness, they’re spring-loaded! How on earth did she get up on top of the door on her way to the cabinet??
Valentine’s been getting up onto that door for ages now… My bathrobe is hanging from a hook on the bathroom side of it, and as that door is rarely closed, she can go shooting right up it and pop onto the top of the door.
The bedroom door is accessible by a short hop from the top of the wardrobe, itself reachable in a single, determined leap.
And the half-bath door downstairs is a short trip from the floor by way of the countertop.
What’s really fun is watching her get down… When the two of them are chasing each other all over the house, they’ll separate, with Julia going off to hide and Val shooting up to a high place. After a few minutes, Val will drop from the sky, and Julia will time a pounce just right to be there upon Val’s landing. Then like a crack of thunder, they’re off to the other side of the house! Wash, rinse, repeat…
Ah, the bathrobe explains it.
My cats are not nearly so enterprising. Mystic is largely sedentary, unless Callie is in attacking range. And Callie merely confines her mad racing around to the easily-reached surfaces of the house.
