I once was at a friend's whose basement had -- like a shed in it. There was a lower ceilinged area with a gap on top and the cat was eyeing it. I pointed out it and as they were saying "oh he can't get up there" he just easily hopped on up
A long time ago, there was a cat up in a tree in our yard. We tried - unsuccessfully - to get it down for quite a while before eventually giving up.
A couple of days later, I was talking to my then-girlfriend's neighbor (a firefighter) and said "we almost called you the other day; there was a cat stuck in a tree."
He said, "we wouldn't have come. Have you ever seen a dead cat in a tree?" Apparently, they can get down just fine; they just want the attention.
Well, what exactly did you expect of the cat? Cats will bloody catting, including parkour, climbing ridiculously tall trees and have lightning reactions.
I’ve seen many cat vs magpie skirmishes , never seen the cat win. Magpies are experts at getting just close enough to provoke a reaction and then flying over the cat to land behind it and taunt it again
Me too, a lot by that matter! Might be that the cat can do it now, being young and fit, but he/she will age eventually, and could fall and get seriously hurt. I have an old cat with arthritis at home, she isn't that agile anymore, she can't jump wide, run fast, or even lay down sideways without rolling over like a stiff little grandmother. She'd break her back trying to do even one of these stunts.
Me too! Some of those things the cat did could be lethal in the event of an error. If I saw that kind of footage from my non-existent cat, I don't think I would ever let it out alone.
Yeah it's still risky and generally better to not fall rather than fall, but anything about 5 stories is more or less the same for a cat since that's when they reach terminal velocity
Look up "High-rise syndrome". Falls from higher than 2 stories can seriously injure a cat. Typical injuries are broken bones, especially jaw and teeth as the jaw can hit the ground, torn ligaments in legs and general leg injuries, and even internal injuries that don't show up outwardly. Of course this usually applies to falling off from a balcony, but I'm an advocate for keeping cats as indoor pets anyway.
My sister's cat broke its back from a fall from a first floor window (Second floor for the Americans), it had to be put down as the fall rendered it quadriplegic.
It absolutely depends what's underneath the fall. Also the shorter the fall the less time they have to correct themselves... there's like... a threshold I think. Wouldn't want to see that cat fall from the scaffolding and hit its back on a pole.

The cat doesn't call it parkour, the cat calls it walking.

There were some definite theorizing and calculation done on this one.

By the way I highly recommend Little Kitty Big City. It’s like untitled goose game but a cute cat and lots of climbing

Your cat has a very-cute, fuzzy chin.

A cat shouldn't be climbing on most of the stuff featured in this video.

OMG, the little whiskers!

Not parkour if you're not doing it at speed, and relying on momentum to stay on track.
Vamp13
its not parkour, its purrkour.

This video would’ve went dark if it got a hold of that bird. Cats are murder for fun crazy.

There's no way this channel isn't heavily edited. This cat most likely kills at least a few rodents and birds per week.

This looks like the UK, where cats have been common for some 2000 years. I can assure you, the ecosystem has adapted to it.

Very much so, just emerging from under a car as another car passes by and squish ….

God forbid you let a cat be a cat. You are the cat owner equivalent of a super helicopter parent

True and false both. Falls can still badly injure cats, leg and jaw injuries being very common. Survive? Yes. Uninjured? Depends on height.
