I have a gorgeous blue-point siamese X "Eli" aka "The Rocket Powered Rubber Flounder" who was very bad getting from point "A" to point "B" as a kitten. I worked every day by repeating certain moving of his legs to teach him to extend his legs away from his body, so he could balance. Eli is very smart and caught on quickly! He is a very messy eater and will grab a mouthful of wet food of the plate and then chicken peck it into the rug. He has come a long way from the day I got the tiny pussy-willow! He knows from one time of falling down the stairs (carpeted) that they are to be avoided...he sits a safe distance away and watches the others. He has knocked a few teeth out by crashing into things, but otherwise has built up muscles enough to propel himself from room to room....and there's no stopping him then! He is like a freight train when he sets up to go. A drunken freight train LOL!
