He Who “Owns” Me

Posted in Personal Stuff by John E. Pannell on October 2nd, 2006 at 5:49 pm

It’s been said that humans don’t own cats, cats own their humans. If that is so, I am owned by my tabby.

In my office/ patch room I have two folding shelf units. Ever since I tore up the carpet in the room, exposing the hardwood floor underneath, and rearranged the room he’s been trying to climb to the top of these shelves. He climbs up the rungs on the side but has never been able to get to the top shelf… until today. For those who wanted to see my “owner”, here he is:

To give you a sense of where he climbed, you can see the doorframe of a closet on the right. He got a small surprise when came down from there. The papers on the shelf beneath him were not stable. They crashed to the floor when he tried to step on them on his way down. He hasn’t tried to go back up there since. :)
