Carry Me Daddy!
Hi All,
I was just treated to an exhibition of speed and jumping ability by my Russian Blue, Smokey. This is a large cat with a *fourteen* inch tail. When he gets his attack of the kitty crazies, nothing and no one will slow him down. He will take off from four or five feet away and leap to the back of my tall armchair. In his normal state though, he is a delicate, frail little boy who hardly has the strength to jump up on a desk. My DH's desk is in the shape of an "L" and she sits facing the inside corner. Smokey will sit at the side of Lynda's chair and meow piteously till she slides forward enough for him to make the ascent to the seat of the chair and then hop up onto the desk. If he wants a drink from the faucet in the bathroom, he will first look up at the sink, cry, and then turn to the human present. If the human just stares at him, he will then jump up onto the seat of the commode and thence to the counter with the sink. If someone is using the commode, leaves the door ajar, and Smokey wants a drink, he will pace back and forth in front of the sink meowing till whoever occupies the commode reaches down, picks up his sorry butt, and places him on the counter. You'd think at least the poor little man would cooperate in this, but the attempts to grab him are met with squirming. When he wants some crunchies from the counter where we keep a gravity-fed dispenser in the back bathroom, he will pace back and forth meowing to be picked up. This exceeds my personal limit of cat concessions however, and he will again will hop up on the seat of the commode and then to the counter. The most amusing part of this behavior is watching the tentative little precursors to the leaps he never makes. He will look up at the sink's counter and make several false starts, rearing up on his hind legs and placing his forepaws against the cabinet under the sink. He does this as if he is getting the range and preparing to make a huge leap that might injure the little faker if he were to miss. After he does the movement several times he will look at the human occupant of the room and cry. That's the time you will hear his absolute best meows. Regards and Purrs, O J |

This reminds me of my parents' RB cat Patty, an inveterate food thief. As she approached 20 years, she put on a frail little old lady act and convinced us she couldn't jump up on the kitchen counter any more, so we didn't have to watch any longer to make sure she didn't do that. One day I was the only one home; I was reading and quiet, and she'd obviously forgotten I was there. I heard the distinctive *thud* from the kitchen of an 18 pound cat landing on the kitchen counter. I came around the corner, she looked up and saw me, and the look in her eyes was pure "dammit, I blew it." LOL! ------ Krista |

My 14-year-old Bandit would look up at me pitifully from the side of the bed (I have one of those really high beds) and put a paw tentatively on the side of the bed as if saying, "Gee, I would come up there with you if I could." So I bought a kitty step ladder to put next to the bed so she could get up easier. However, when I was moving into the new house the step ladder did not get unpacked for several days yet every day when I came home from work there she would be, sleeping on my pillow as usual!
