Mancat Monday.

Last week Eric surprised me by climbing up the tree. He hasn't done that for ages, but I thought I had better show him how a professional does it. I am not peeing here, I am eyeing up the tree.

Make sure my claws are good and sharp first.

Get ready to spring....

and up I go. Keep watching Eric.

This is the first fork in the big trunk and we used to sit in here together.

This is the harder part because it leans the wrong way.

But it is no problem to me and I am soon up higher.

Did you take note of all that Eric? I'm coming down now.

See, easy peasy!

Tree Climber.

I leave most of the tree climbing to Flynn because it is much too energetic for me.

The other day we were walking past our favourite oak tree and I shot up it. I went so fast mum almost missed me.

She got a better picture when I walked along the branch though.
I am going to leave it to Flynn again but I showed him I can still do it.

Mancat Monday

This is our favourite climbing tree. It is a very old oak tree. There is a hole in the bottom of it and we have to regularly check it to make sure no introoders have moved in.

Eric: Can you see anything in there Flynn? Make sure you have a thorough look.

I'd better check for myself. You can never be too careful with these hidey holes.

Cat-O-Lympics - Extreme Climbing event.

We have entered the Extreme Climbing event hosted by The House of Cats.



Flynn: I have been practicing hard over the last four years to be at my peak for this year's Winter Olympics. Eric waits lower down for me to give me advice on my technique.

Sometimes I have had a slight wobble on my dismount....

But I now have overcome that...

and feel purrfectly at home up in the heights of the old Oak tree.

Eric: I prefer the lower tree discipline rather than the extreme climb....

although with the right incentive, I will climb higher.
