The earth isn't flat...

[fjm]

...because if it were, the cats would have knocked everything off it by now!

(Told to me in passing in the carpark this evening.)

Never ceases to amaze me that they can negotiate a crowded mantelpiece without knocking anything off and then send it all to the floor with their tail as they jump off!

My first Siamese, Jacinth, who was a tiny dainty little blue point, sharing the top of the microwave with a metal saucepan ... Jassy spread herself and, eventually, the pan gave up and crashed to the floor. Jassy, not in the least alarmed, wide-eyed in wonder in fact, gazed down at it ... now why had it gone and done that?

Jacinth the percussive cat.

Cats just don't understand about gravity.

ps I don't care for many of the Simon's Cat cartoons, but this one just about sums up what we're talking about ...

The cat will do the cat stuff, whenever see a ledge, the cat will do the calculation and 2-3 mocking to jump, then here we go... aaaaaaaa
