Vox Hunt: Is For The Birds

Comments

I still worry about the cats sailing over the patio railing (3 floors up) in an attempt to catch something at the birdfeeder. They've never even come close, but still...I don't quite trust little Max's judgement...
Trizzay and Elektra are pretty dextrous compared to their sister Persephone, who is possibly the clumsiest cat I've ever seen. When she was was a kitten, I let her out on the living room deck and turned my back. I heard some rustling then looked back, and she was gone! I ran down to the patio and found her, unhurt but looking a bit startled, under the bushes between the house and patio. Fortunately, Persephone is now an indoor-only cat.

Elektra went through a stage where she would climb up very high in the trees next to the house, like almost as high as the roof--to where the branch she was on was swaying, barely able to support her weight. That was a bit nerve-wracking, but she seemed totally unfazed and turned around to climb back down.
It is so sad when they crash into glass and never fly again.
Yes, fortunately that doesn't seem to be the case here. The interesting thing is that even when my mom closes her blinds, the birds still fly up to the window, so it's not just a matter of them flying into the glass because they can't see it.

I remember when I came to pick up Persephone and watched her and Elektra play together. Elektra chased her up the steps in the back yard perfectly gracefully, while Persephone tripped on every step! And don't forget that video, where Persephone was so busy trying to nurse, she fell off the step! (Are you ever going to post that video?)

Now, while Ulysses will do anything challenging, like walk along the inch-wide bannister, jump up to the top of the six-foot-tall bookcase, or jump up to the high shelves in my closet, Persephone is pretty much content to limit her jumps to the bed and the couch.

I think I tried once and Vox didn't like the format. I should try again, though, since it's been a long while and many bugs have been fixed ad interim.
