Rhett just jumped from the stair divider riser (split foyer house)
up in to the living room THROUGH the railing posts about 4 ft away
from the starting jumping point. Without even touching the rails!
I've seen them jump from the railing to the divider riser platform
(which makes my heart stop thinking about over-jumping and ending up
down on the stairs going to the lower level), but never *this*
direction and with such accuracy.  Me thinks this cat would be a
good candidate for agility training.

And on top of it, there can be no creature more beautiful.

That sort of thing blows me away.  When Peewee was a youngster, he
could jump from the floor to the top of a door.  Amazing!!

That's another reason it makes me so sick when people declaw their
cats.  To destroy that physiology is unfathomable.

That's what my first cat (RB) did.  He would leap to the top of a bibold
door and then just sit there.  I have some pictures of him sitting there --  
his ears are only a couple of inches from the ceiling, and yet he made that
leap from the floor with such grace that he landed without ever slipping or
hitting his head.  As you said -- amazing!!

I did it again.  "Bifold" doors, not "bibold" doors.
(Note to self:  Proof reading is a very good thing.)
