Kittie-proof has the same validity as escape proof, OWL. The late, great Koshka walked on the top of doors, and would sleep up there.

Kitties have such bravery about jumping up and down and all over. I’m amazed at the places I find kitties. You just can’t kitty proof a room, unless you get rid of everything. I’m glad only dignity was hurt for either. That only hurts while one thinks about it.

You most have a different charging circuit in your camera, because my crew can apparently hear the camera getting ready to shoot, and I assume it’s the high frequency squeal when the capacitor charges for the flash.

The whole story behind the picture – I was taking a shot of him laying on top of the high bookcase and sticking his head around the corner. I had the camera set for the “Portrait” mode which has a very limited depth of field, and he leaped just as the camera took the shot.

If I had thought he was going to jump I could have gone to the video mode, but I doubt I would have gotten anything in the light.

One day, I’m gonna catch Pica chasing her tail and slamming her head into the back of my desk chair on video.

Cats never acknowledge any error, and you are well advised not to act like there was one. Excise is not mature enough to totally understand, but Sox will explain it to him – after I go to sleep.

You got it in one, Badtux. Sat there cleaning himself up, even though you could see him almost winch when he shifted his weight.

You are very welcome, Moi.

No no, Kryten. Every cat I’ve ever had, if it did something embarassing like, say, leap for the top of the bookcase and miss, was careful to sit down and quietly lick its paw in a dignified manner as if saying, “I *meant* to do that. Srisly!”

Thanks, Bryan – I was just at The Modulator, going to post her name, and saw it already there.

I heart my blog friends…
