She Climbs Because She Can

This is Tillie hanging from my leg.

She's lean, she's fast, she climbs. One second she's on the ground, the next she has all 18 toes sunk into your thigh.

Why does she do this? Because she can.  When you are little like that and full of determination, you can go anywhere.

  1. Why? Because there's STUFF UP THERE! She knows there is. Bast (and Wylla and Bean) told her!

  3. 18 toes?? That's number is not evenly divisible by 4.

    1. Cats have 18 toes. 5 on each front paw and 4 on each back paw.

  4. Why climb? To escape the Huddle Puddle. TO stand out and up. Because that is what Mighty Hunters do. Because one gets a solo post.

  5. So bright-eyed! Her eye color is so beautiful too, that celadon.

  6. Ah, and who can blame her? Honestly, I remember being an 8-year-old, and having a light and flexible body that could climb any tree. Often it felt like I could do anything I wanted. I didn't know to miss it until it was gone!
