Princess Nagger:  “Mama! You have got to grab your camera and see where Blackspot is right now!”

Me:  “I’m on it!”

This was the sight that greeted my eyes (and lens):

Luckily when we remodeled and added a powder room to the first floor, we trimmed it out with 100 year old barn timbers – Blackspot climbed up the timber vs. digging his claws into my Grandfather Clock.

No worries, I did help him down – though I discovered later I didn’t need to.  He’s been up there several times since, and each time amazed Princess Nagger and I with his ability to successfully jump down in one graceful move – without a net or wires. 

Oh, and you’re probably wondering if he ever did find any mice up there – luckily we have no mice, so there’s none interested in running up the clock.  Thank goodness.

  1. When we first moved into this house we live at now, we had a large cat named Charlie. Now Charlie loved our old garage and breezeway of our old home, but didn’t like the garage here. He preferred to stay outdoors, but he did need to watch himself as we live in an area full of predators that would love to chomp down on fresh kitty. He quickly learned that the best place to go was the roof of our house, and hide under the air conditioner situated there. It was quite a jump up from the three foot patio wall to the roof, and back down again, but he did it with such ease. He was a great cat, and kept the mouse and rat population down very well. Unfortunately, one of our neighbors was having a big problem with rats and left some poison out. A rabbit got to this poison, and Charlie got the rabbit. He was gone in a few days after he got that bunny. He was such a great cat, and we have never replaced him.

    1. Cats are funny, aren’t they, Marie? 😉 Oh man – so sorry about the accident with your grandfather clock! I’m going to be extra worried about moving that across country this summer! 🙂 The hubby sure did a great job picking that out for me for Christmas in 2005, didn’t he? He’s a keeper! 😉

  3. I have seen cats make some amazing jumps too. You’ve got a pretty baby there. I like the concept in your powder room too, I bet it looks amazing!

    1. Thank you, Eliza! I do the thought bubbles in PhotoShop – I’ve used it for so many years I don’t have to think about it (you know, with my own thought bubbles…heh!) Thank you for the compliment on the grandfather clock – my hubby got that for me for Christmas in 2005 simply because I had mentioned I missed having a grandfather clock in the house since my parents had one when I was growing up (they still have it). He’s a keeper! 🙂 Oooh – that’s a great idea – I need to put a cat pillow up there! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂

  5. We have cabinet in the living room that is tall and thin, much like a grandfather clock. Kovu loves to get up there and just sit and watch things! He first jumps on a small table that sits near by and then propels himself to the top! Jack hasn’t quite figured how to get up that high yet, but I’m sure it’s coming. He is much more of a climber and explorer than Kovu ever was!
