In case you ever wondered, cats CAN climb ladders. Somehow this thought had never occurred to me until I walked into the room to see this guy at the top of the ladder staring at me.

Like I said, I'm flabbergasted that somehow this never occurred to me. I guess my brain assumed the awkward shape of a ladder (from a cat's perspective) would give them trouble and be harder to climb than leaping from floor to surface or surface to surface.

everyone knows cats can climb trees but for some reason a ladder was unreasonable to your brain hahahahah

in this (your pic) case, it's also a very short jump from sofa arm to the top of the ladder.
