Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005Cat jumping on top of my bookcase
Every once in a while my male orange tabby jumps on top of my bookcase. He doesn't harm anything; he just seems to like doing it. Is there a reason why he does this? I was told that he likes to do it is because he, like many cats, likes high places. Any information is appreciated; thanks in advance. Christine Honey get use to that the higher the better. If they cats could set on the clouds they would it baffals me to as I would be affraid I would fall > Every once in a while my male orange tabby jumps on top of my bookcase.

Oh I have always been told and read that cats like to be high up. Mine do it I just assumed it was normal, sorry for my lack of knowing. How are the kittys Jackieo? > Oh I have always been told and read that cats like to be high up. Mine do it I just assumed it was normal, sorry for my lack of knowing. > How are the kittys Jackieo? My two cats are doing just fine thank you. When I decide which pictures of them to post, I will do so, and then you can see for yourself. I hope that Pheonix is feeling better these days. By the way, don't let Mary's comments bother you, just consider who they are coming from, and then sigh, and shake your head in embarassment for her. That's what I do. Either that, or I keep doing the things that seem to piss her off. Believe me, it doesn't take much. LOL > > Every once in a while my male orange tabby jumps on top of my bookcase.

It's important to a cat's happiness and security to be able to perch somewhere high. Margaret S.  Signaturehttp://www.sangerfan.com Nothing I say is professional advice.

Mine does this as the kitchen cabinets are the highest place in the house. She gets upset however when I just reach up and pat her on top of her head. Perhaps it blows her ego all to hell.

I've known a cat get on top of the highest place, then walk around in Halloween Cat pose. :) Margaret S. SignatureNothing I say is professional advice.

However what I find strange is that of our 3 cats, this cat's the only one who goes on top of the bookcase; our other 2 cats don't bother with getting up high.

We can tell you about tendencies we've observed, but what each individual cat will do is completely up to them. And they change over time. They will keep you guessing and surprise you as often as possible. Just watch and enjoy.
