Butterscotch Almost Hits the Roof
October 28th 2008 21:01
I was at my friend Brett’s place the other day, playing with his cat, Gingersnap. After a while I asked Brett where Butterscotch, his other cat, was. Brett said “Up there.” I looked up in the direction he was pointing to and gasped in shock. There he was, right on top of the pantry, his head almost touching the ceiling, doing what comes naturally to him which is to perch on the highest object in whichever room he’s in and watch the world. Now I’ve heard cats can really leap high distances but can he really fly two metres? Considering Butterscotch is the size of an average cat and hasn’t got wings, I find this amazing. What is even more amazing is my ex-neighbour’s cats, who weigh about 8 kilos each can also do this. They’re not fat cats; they’re just a large breed. So wouldn’t their weight literally hold them back? Too bad I’ve never seen a cat fly up so high as I’d love to know how they do this. Mind you, Brett has said he has seen them to this.
Brett says he finds it funny to watch his cats Butterscotch and Gingersnap try to fly up onto the top of his pantry. Brett says Butterscotch can easily make the two metre leap but Gingersnap, being the smaller and less feisty of the two, usually misses and ends up landing on his bum.
I was so amazed by the sight of him up so high I had to take a picture. Here is my darling, handsome boy.
