I have an understanding, but no words.
Watching her scale the security door with claws out, hanging for a bit, then doing the mad jump to the top of the door is nuts.
And all in 30 seconds from a standing start lol
She's so strong! Look at her mighty form up on high, surveying her kingdom and her silly ape-slave... Who, coincidentally, will assist her dismount from her tightrope-throne!
Praise Be Gibson ππΌ
π€£π€£π€£ This got me genuinely laughing out loud.
I don't know how they don't hurt their claws on the screen doors, but mine have been known to do the same!
The pitiful βIβm stuckβ mews, then they do it again 20 seconds after being rescued
Nothing will ever beat the defeated look Gibson gives me when she gets wrapped up in a plastic bag and needs me to help her π€£
TIL that cat claws are an appendage of the paw bone structure. Completely unlike humans whose nails are a part of skin structure.
That's why cats can support their body weight with claws.
Holy shit. Makes complete sense!
And why declawing is an utter horror now rightfully banned most places
