This morning I was in my office, which is off the garage on the other side from the main house, reading the group and petting Ozzy who was laying in my lap. All of sudden we heard a HUGE CRASH. I jumped three inches and Ozzy left tread marks down my legs trying to get out of the way of the house falling down around us (or so it seemed from the sound). I saw an orange streak out of the corner of my eye - Archer running like all the demons in h*ll were on his tail. I know you didn't find this funny, but I couldn't help but laugh at this. What a rambunctious little MONSTER!! He brings the word "hoolikitten" to a whole new level. Glad everything's OK... more or less. Purrs for everyone's nerves (especially yours and Ozzy's), and that Archer doesn't kill himself before he's old enough to stop pulling all these death-defying maneuvers. Joyce |

He is so tiny (well, tiny compared to Ozzy, 11 pounds, or Sammy, 20 pounds - he weighs the same as Jessie and Demi, 7.5 pounds) - how the heck did he manage to more that heavy ladder. He had to have had some help from the mothership - teleportation or something! ; Hugs, CatNipped Joyce |

They have powerful muscles in their legs, disproportionate to their size! (At least, disproportionate when compared to other animals.) Don't let their cuteness fool you. Joyce |

wrote: I ran to the door to see what damage he had done this time. It seems he had decided to climb the metal ladder we have leaning against a wall in the garage. The ladder was lying on the floor and I can only assume Archer leaped away in time to prevent it from crushing him. I have NO idea how he managed to move such a heavy object out and away from the wall on which it was leaning - it was at a 30 degree angle so he had to push away from the wall really hard (I had a hard time lifting it back up again!). The ladder is not leaning against the wall in a safer, sideways position. Archer is running around, unfazed with his close encounter with death, and Ozzy and I are still shaking! Neither of my girls are kittens any longer, but they had a real attack of the "zoomies" a couple of nights ago. First they knocked over the floor lamp in my living room (fortunately it missed the computer monitor, and all the lightbulbs remained intact and functional). Next I heard a "crash!" from the bedroom and when I investigated found my desk lamp on the floor. It's the kind that has various nooks and crannies for pencils, etc. so all that stuff was scattered on the floor, wall-to-wall. I love my cats, but there are times...... Wow. Who needs children? The cats are destructive enough! Jane - owned and operated by the less-destructive Princess Rita |

Ditto rabbits- I know of an incident where a Polish (about 3 pounds in weight when fully grown) broke a guys ribs with a kick (the back legs are the most powerful) and I have heard of a larger rabbit kicking someone in the head and knocking them out Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
