Suddenly the grey cat leapt about two feet in the air, did a 360-degree pirouette, and they both barrelled on but with the grey right on tabby's tail. It was a splendid manouevre that left us quite stunned - "did you see that?" - and presumably left the tab quite confused too.

Our grey cat is definitely strange. He spends a lot of time on the roof of our house, pacing along the ridge tiles or walking along with his feet in the guttering. He's been known to leap fifteen feet to the ground, and delights in walking along the balcony railing here - 2" (45mm) wide and 40 feet (12m) above the ground, a sheer drop! His tabby brother is a total groundhog by comparison and about as agile as a wooden iguana. It's weird how cats from the same litter can be so dissimilar.

Man, my cat wouldn't last a day at your house as he falls off of stuff constantly lol. Some of the tumbles out of his cat tree have been epic and since he weighs over 20lbs, the thuds are fairly epic.

I must admit that I have spent a few hours in my life looking at "lolcat" pics....I need to turn in my man card.
