Jane's World by Paige Braddock for January 08, 2024

I’ve seen cats parkour over the 6 foot tall fence around my back yard, the baby gate will present little problem.

“I laugh at your baby gate — ha ha!” says Mr. Fluffy.

So it begins.

My cat could jump to the top of the refrigerator. She’d sit in attack position for about 30 seconds, looking at it, then BOING!

Cats have PHds in physics and trigonometry. Notice how they settle into the floor and stare at where they want to jump to. They’re calculating the required forces. Then they never jump short and fall back, or over jump to a greater height than the target.
