Don’t be so “Petty” about my “Free Fallin’”

A cat would never fall on the floor like that, Angie. Unless they did but that was only because they meant to.

Mitty, of course you’re worried about mom hurting herself right? And not about who would feed you liver treats.

Cats are so agile, they don’t understand that we are big lumbering clumsy things by comparison.

Mitty reminds me of my furry speed bump, Honor. She does get out of my way, as I’m the one who fell last year and went away (to the ER with a broken knee).

Cats do frequently provide agility training for human beings. It does keep me nimble. That said, NEVER make any unusual moves, especially stretches off center while standing in a bathtub or shower. That moves your center of gravity in a dangerous way. Slip and fall is the most common serious home accident.

A broken knee. Ouch and double ouch. I know how much that hurts. I’m so glad you’re better, but I know it wasn’t fun getting there.

My two mini-panthers have a way of getting under my feet, especially in the dark. I feel guilty when I step on a paw or tail, even though it’s their own fault.
