Cats land on their feet, right? Well, not quite...

So Cat and I are enjoying a very nice two-story condo. Hardwood floors, tile, Berber carpet upstairs.

Our first day here, Cat went exploring downstairs. She then made her way over to the stairs. Where she stood at the bottom and looked up and then looked at me as if to say, "You expect me to climb that?"

After a few minutes, I scooped her up and carried her up the stairs. I put her down with about three steps to go and she climber the remainder herself.

The first couple of days she pretty much stayed upstairs. She finally made her way very cautiously, I might add, down the stairs.

Now she races up the stairs. Coming down is a different story. How shall I put this, hmmm, she is a bit tail heavy, so she comes down the stairs slowly.

A few nights ago as I was getting ready for bed, I hear a "KA-THUMP" on the stairs. Yeah, Cat tripped. As I peered around the corner, there she was, looking at me as if to say, "What, nothing happened."

Earlier tonight, she decided to walk on the sofa to the end where I sat. She was walking precariously on the edge. And next thing I know she is clinging to the sofa's edge for dear life looking at me as if to say "HELP!" The funny part was her back paws kept slipping and sliding on the hardwood floor and she couldn't get a grip. After a few seconds, she slipped and landed on her backside.

I couldn't stop laughing. And she was mad, she looked at me and marched to the stairs and ran upstairs.

So, whoever said a cat always lands on their feet, never met Cat.
