    Like that, Roders! Always wondered how cats can balance on a "tightrope", usually without wobbling. :D

    Yes, Rosa, I'm more for the gentle exercise routine but need to get a bit disciplined now! :eek:

    Watch those hindlegs in those wrestling matches. Though the claws are sheathed in play - the action is the same in play or reality. My cats used the same tactics when playing with me - if used in anger, that raking movement can cause serious damage.

    All part of the charm of being owned by a cat, Fran!!

    Hence the old saying "cats leave paw prints on your heart - and your arm - and your settee - and ..... "!!

    Rosa, what a sweet picture!
    I have a 20 year old cat who frequently walks along the narrow ridge tiles of next doors' extension, for no reason that I can see. And her usual route up the garden is along the top of the fence, which is 2" wide.
    I wish I was as agile.
