Casper - Branching Out


Casper continued his first steps out into the big wide world today. A bit more 'upward' than I would have liked...

Re: Casper - Branching Out


Did he get down OK? My little Pip liked to climb trees, but he's too big now

Oh goodness! Right up into the small branchlets! Hope he did manage to get down alright. And that he doesn't do too many other gravity defying climbs in the near future.

Oh wow, some great shots there, especially that first one! How high was he, Phil?

Re: Casper - Branching Out


He scrabbles up to the top really quickly and seems to get up and down without any problems - I'd say he's 20 feet up or so and it's above tufty soft grass.

I should've expected it because when he was akitten at the cat shelter he climbed around the compound and even in the cattery they said he was swinging about like a monkey.

He's so light and agile just now that he's fine in the wispy branches. Perhaps once he's beefed up a bit things might change though.

Re: Casper - Branching Out


Me? I broke my arm last time I climbed a tree, properly. It was a huge old beech tree, with massive branches, and I went up one - several times, until the time I got distracted going up the tricky bit...
