The lizard then moved up another 6" or so. Baby let out a pair of

Startling, isn't it? I got my very first cat when she was a just-weaned kitten
and the first time I saw her, at about eight weeks old, jump from the floor
right to the top of a six-foot-high upright freezer, I was flabbergasted. I'd
heard cats were good jumpers, but I still wasn't quite ready for THAT...LOL!

They certainly can leap when they want to! Oddly enough, my cat Persia
(RB 2014) wasn't interested in leaping up on tall things. Neither is my
current cat, Buffy. I guess they already know they're worlds above us
lowly humans.
