    I caught Amy....FINALLY!

    All this time she has been getting up and down from that perch. I saw her getting down one day but never caught her getting up there.. Today I did! I didn't have the camera with me and had to go back to get it but I saw how she does it. She stretches her front paws up as high as she can get them, using them to pull herself up, using her back legs to help steady her and push with what little she can. Once she had her top body up onto the perch, she braces herself by stiffening her back legs and pressing against the sides to hold the bottom half steady until she gets her top half where she wants it..

    Here she is on her way up..




    This is the hole that helps her get up there..


    I just wish I had seen her study how to do it before she attempted to do it the first time.. THAT would have been amazing to watch! She spends every day there now that she figured out how to do it.

    I am SO proud of that little girl and the things she accomplishes

    Not to leave the other girls out..

    Boo has discovered the joy of BOXES! This is the first box she has ever shown any interest in getting into.. Had to get a picture of that when I saw her there..

    A good lesson for anyone hesitant about adopting a "special needs" baby - where there is a will, there's a way!

    How does she get down? The same way, but backwards?
    Believe it or not, she comes down head first, using her front paws to get down until her rear catches up and overtakes her head, she gets her head and front paws down as far as she can before she lets her rear leave the top. Then there is a ker-thunk and she is down. Not a gentle landing but not nearly as hard as I would have thought. I saw her starting to get down today and before I could get the video camera powered up, she was down!

    Oh, Amy... what a feat! Such an accomplishment!

    You go, girl! Many kissies and skritchies and head-bumpies to you from us, especially your CH brothers Elmer and Bob.

    And so nice, too, to see Boo and Samantha and Giz showing off their special relaxation positions!

    I hear a galloping coming up the hall tonight with amazing speed.. I looked and caught a flash of orange go by at an amazing speed.. HUH? WHAT! WAIT! BOO? What has gotten into you? Are you OK?.. So I quietly get up and look, Giz is on the perch by the kitchen window sound asleep. Samantha is in the box sleeping.. Amy was on the sofa with me.. It WAS Boo! She was at the feeding station chomping away..

    LOL! I have not seen her run like that since she has been here, didn't know she even had it in her! I have even caught her playing with one of Giz's stuffed rats several times since I been home this time.. Does this mean she is in her second childhood? She has her 15th birthday coming up soon...

    Cats never cease to amaze me and when they are determined to do something they will always find a way. It's great to see that Amy was that determined to get up in the cat tree. Your other girls are beauties and it's great to hear how Boo is acting like a big kitten again. I catch Storm doing this too and he's 14 1/2 years old. It always makes me smile.
