Does the agility of cats impress you?

I mean it will never cease to impress me. Cats are like ninjas. They like climbing around on high surfaces, such as shelves, refrigerator tops…anything high. I have shelves a bit everywhere with tons of crap on them, and I’ve never really disciplined my cats to not climb everywhere. They stay off the dinner table and away from my TV and computer. …usually Otherwise I don’t mind if they climb.
But seeing them go when they do, I’m like, they’re gonna knock something over…oh shit…there goes my special edition of Sleepwalkers… But they barely ever do. Sure, it happens sometimes, but otherwise they just sidestep everything, going in between things, and when they jump up or down, everything is intact. Speaking of jumping up on stuff, it also never fails to amaze me how high a cat can actually jump, and then land perfectly among movie cases, horror figurines and other random crap without even touching them. Ninjas, I tell you!
I heard some cats knock things over on purpose, while you’re in the room to get your attention. So, obviously, they know what they’re doing. Any animal can knock stuff over, but cats know what is safe to climb and what is not, least most of the time. (well probably most animals do, never owned any animals besides cats, and one hamster, and a turtle) I know cats can climb up trees and not be able to get down again, but mine are too old to give a fuck about trees these days. XD
It’s all calculated in advance. Or so it seems to me, anyway.
I have really tall entertainment units in the living room, two of them, and I can’t sweep the tops without getting on a chair, but both my cats like to hang out up there and they just casually prance all the way up like it’s nothing.

Anyways, just sharing this after seeing one of mine sleeping on top of one of the entertainment units. I always thought it was cool how cats are so totally ninjas. Lol. Figured I’d ask a question about it. Cat owners and non cat owners alike; are you impressed by the agility and climbing skill of the feline family? Or, does it annoy you? Do you have other animals that like climbing? Had my kitties for a long time, and it always looks like they’re gonna break everything in action, but it rarely ever happens. No matter how many times I’ve seen it happen, never fails to make me go…well, damn.

Anyways I’m totally rooting for whoever has a ninja dog that climbs all over the place. :D
