Her bottom is made out of nitrogen fueled rocket boosters
Never mind that old "made out of springs." Flanny is a jumper. As I mentioned, she can jump from the floor to the top of a door, so quickly that if you don't pay attention it seems like teleportation. Although I don't have footage of that particular type of jump, I do have footage of her typical everyday play style.
Around our house, there is an ongoing love affair with a toy called "the Bat." The Bat is a wand toy that once chee-chee'd in a bat-like way. In six years we've been through nine of them. I still have four more in reserve in a secret hiding place.
Hubby's theory is that he could demolish a house with nothing more than Flannery and a laser pointer. Flanny will jump fearlessly, anywhere, without regard for what she destroys in the process, so I think Hubby's theory might be true. In the background of the video, you'll hear some disco music. That's Flanny's favorite music, and who can blame her? When she sings along with BeeGee's, as she likes to do, she sounds like the long lost missing Gibb sister, er, cat.

So great to see those springy legs!!
Wow.
Wow.

...wow.
And yes, there is something...not normal about Flanny. She has the most incredibly powerful legs I've ever seen on a cat. The down side is that it's hard to make her do anything. Just try making her get into a cat carrier. Ha!
my kittro isn't quite that jumpy, but she is a jumper. she got on top of the upright treadmill once. and regularly ends up on top of the pantry shelves.
oh, and she has discovered jumping onto my bookshelves recently. which is rather amusing until she starts knocking stuff off them. so aggravating.
and yet, she is the cutest thing since evar!
if Kiki isn't knocking things off shelves, she's on my desk, trying to get the pens off the desk, or otherwise trying to aggravate me. it bugs me when she gets on my desk, and she just looks at me while i yell.
she's kinda skittish though. never quite got over that stage, i guess. i don't make things better, because i chase after her sometimes. i'm a mean mommy like that. i like to man-handle my cat. thankfully she doesn't mind being man-handled. much. :~)
That is hilarious!!!!
I would love to see that in person. Especially with my dog present. He'd FREAK.
