Roverian Chronicles, part two.


Another weekend another "tree" to climb. Don't know what she-at-the-end-
of-the-lead is on about. I climb really well, as demonstrated.

Up is easy - we agree on that.


Then you balance to the end and have a spy on the birds/flies/neighbours.


When you've had enough, you stick your tongue out at her and blow a raspberry.


Then you scuttle down face first and this is where we disagree. I don't see
why I can't run down, but she thinks I should be climbing backwards to get
down. Something about claws working better that way. As if she had claws...
Tsk!


The day ended in a nice long stalk through the best of the bushes. Almost caught a blackbird that was watching SATEOTL instead of me.

Can hardly wait for Part 3!! He is getting bigger & handsomer every time I see him. Sultan came down trees head-first also; is that perhaps an Aby thing? None of my others ever climbed trees while on leash...??

Re: Roverian Chronicles, part two.


It's a cat thing, unless a colleague has taught them bum-first down-climbing.

He's not been up a tree in his lead (yet) thankfully! I did spend half-an-hour under the yew (two floors high) persuading him to try to come down. He'd try, slip (no claw-grip face first...), get scared and climb up again. Higher, to feel safe. Fortunately he didn't jump up on the roof, or we would have had to do some polite asking to climb through windows. He eventually dared climb far enough down that I could provide platforms with my hands, and then catch him. He hasn't climbed that one again. Good!

Love his big, knobbly paws. Though if he grows into them, he'll be *huge*.
