Well, not the actual Rockies, but a charming mountain made of rock in mama’s office, with my favorite sitting cloth on top, and climbing it (in the past) was not only for the view from its height but gave me a little buzz, too!
And in those days, I could scamper down like a…well…scampering kitty, no hesitation.
Now, of course, my climbing days are over because of a right front leg that, well, just isn’t as young as it used to be (even though I sometimes race up the stairs and mama and papa look at each other as in “WHA??? Did you see Loulou whiz by just now?”
Maybe it was the Tragering mama does on my leg, whatever that is, not my leg, the treatment.
She sort of rocks my leg back and forth gently and loosens up the joint and it feels good.
So unpredictable, we climbers. Just call me Reinhold Messner, haha. Maybe No-hold Messier would be more accurate. I tend to slip a little on the stairs or ruffle the rugs when suddenly darting off to wherever we kitties dart off to…
BUT…it’s not that I will never climb again. I think that with a few more grams off the tummy, I might just conquer my peak again and view the world from the proper look-out for a Queen of The Peak. Or Peek…
How fun to have your own climbing wall inside.
Oh, it’s great but my climbing days are shortened….
The only climbing I do is up to the top of my cat tree – but I do have a lovely view up there – and even at my size, I can still scamper up that tree in no time! Climbing is good for us but you must be careful about your leg LouLou!
Hugs, Teddy
I really don’t climb anything but stairs right now.
Well, have a bit of arthritis too – but the croquettes with anti-arthritis from the vet helps a LOT! It’s expensive – but hey, it works. And less than steak, LOL! Well Loulou, you’re a lot more agile than I am – I couldn’t climb that rock at all – but I do run up and down stairs when it’s walk time……
Cats seem to have more agility at climbing than doggies…but doggies can CHASE balls and things.
Well Loulou, you really are a rock star!
Ha Ha dat’s a goot one! Just call me one of the Stones.
Oh LouLou- getting older is a challenge, but your Mama and Papa love you and want you to do what you love.
I might try the rock one more time, with help.
I remember you showing us that rock, it is very cool.
Well, thank you, and it’s nice to have a little nature inside the house!
LouLou I know about getting a bit older and not climbing like I used to. As long as you can climb into a lap you will be fine
Now that is the best observation! THANK YOU. A lap, I can manage just fine.
