The Cat Who Sought the High Ground

Never expect a cat to keep his feet on the ground when a restricted area looms overhead like a death defying challenge to a mentally impaired feline.

Downyflake,not the brightest bulb in the box, enjoys the hunt for space (well, he doesn't need to hunt for anything else). He will try to force his 16 pounds into tiny places where a mouse, should he even recognize the creature as possible prey, might hide to escape a brighter cat. As it is, if we had a mouse in the house, I think the two would become pals and sleep together, maybe share food stuff and occasionally act like predator and prey to fool the humans into complacity.

However, never let it be said that Downyflake doesn't come up with ideas that might make his mother proud, and his father roll his eyes with despair. A 6.5 feet tall object he knew to be restricted needed to be assaulted, er. . .climbed and mastered, when his humans weren't paying attention.

Wicker is off limits, or so we thought. Downyflake knew otherwise. Cat 1, Humans 0.
