We do, especially Biffy & Lilly. If there is any way that they can
climb it, scuttle under it, along it or plain throw themselves @ it,
that pair are willing to have a go @ it..All the rest show signs of
caution and sensibility. Perhaps it is just a Birman thing?

This is true, Lol!!
In fact, I sometimes wonder where we can purchase helmets their size,
& whether we need those helmets too?
Oh, good lord...I had never considered Bungee jumping!
I better not tell them about this post, & turn the screen away from
Lilly. I'm *almost convinced* that she can read, because every time I
seem to discuss something like this, she tries it out the following
day, with a smirk all over those pretty furry little chops
They don't seem to understand the *concept of fear @ all*. Caution
doesn't seem to exist in the world of Birman. I have caught them
climbing, digging, which would indicate that pot- holing is also on
their agenda- hang gliding, & even Biffy tries a spot of tight rope
walking from time to time( Normally, it used to be along next doors
fence, & he is no petite cat either I might add)...ever so funny to
watch him trying to balance like a ballerina doing pirouettes along
it, then trying to jump down without landing in a heap. I have also
found the best method of convincing him that it might be better not to
show off, is to waft a slice of chicken breast, slightly warmed in
front of him- that usually works, as long as you heat it up for a few
moments in he micro of course!
Who likes cold chicken, he asks me?
It will be interesting to see whether Valerian has the same effect on
him, or better with any luck?!!! I have never fancied pot holing
myself, but the way he is going, it looks like I might have to get
used to it. I am utterly convinced that he is trying to tunnel his way
to China, just for the pure pleasure of watching me follow him....
Such a naughty pair of puss cats, really!!!
