I have to say, I like Malala's current project better than some of her other attempts. This was the first time I found her like this, but not the last. How did she get up there in the first place?


@at@sigmoid.social @EricCarroll @khitomers_hamster @oreoteeth This is an old T-Shirt, but it is one of my favorites and very appropriate here. I wish I could still buy it.

(Sorry about the Moire pattern. I took several pics and this was the least Moire-y.)

@shawnmjones The Mission Impossible theme is playing in my head right now.

@shawnmjones I had a cat that did this regularly. Disconcerting when you're in the shower.

@khitomers_hamster She hates water too much to do that. My wife had recently showered, so I was surprised Malala was even in the room.

@shawnmjones mine played in the water despite repeated incidents of falling off a boat dock. I feel better about your shower safety with a cat that has a normal aversion to water. Sending pets to her.

@shawnmjones I hope my cat never learns to do this. He’s a shoulder cat, and I think I’ve got it to where he only leaps onto my shoulder is from the furniture during hoodie season, I think he understands he can’t do that if I’m wearing a tank top.

But if he was able to jump down onto my shoulders, I think I would really be in trouble.

@maggiemaybe When she was a kitten, Malala was a shoulder cat. Sometimes I use this the first picture below as my profile photo.

My cat Neo (gone since 2017, second picture) enjoyed pouncing me every from closet shelves, doors, book cases, refrigerators, cabinets, and more. After a while I think he got too heavy to make the climbs, but I enjoyed the period of "Surprise! It's me!” while it lasted.

@shawnmjones I'm gonna guess she climbed up your towel, stood on the towel rack, and then jumped on top of the door from there.

You know, this might make a good video game.

@finley I believe you are right. In our closet she climbs up my shirts to get to the top shelf. The door in the picture above has a robe hanging from the other size. She may have used that, too.

Per the video game idea, have you played “Stray" ?

@shawnmjones That is none of your concern... hoo-man 😜

@shawnmjones

No wonder cats muscles consist only of (dunno how it is called in English) the "spring" type.
A cat scientist said if we humans could jump like cats we could jump over a giraffe!
So cats can jump very high, but mostly don't care. 😉
